Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Ms. Sullivan, and Mr. Worts, for sharing your important information with us today.
Mr. Worts, I come from Mississauga, which is where the headquarters of a couple of Japanese auto manufacturers in Canada are located. A lot of the auto parts that are used in those plants are manufactured in the Mississauga area and the greater Toronto area. It's a very important part of our economy.
You mentioned in your opening remarks that Japan is a challenging market for domestic Canadian and U.S. auto manufacturers, and that Canada and U.S. manufacturers do best in the larger engine vehicle markets.
I was wondering if you could tell us what the Japanese consumer is looking for in autos. How could Canadian and U.S. domestic auto manufacturers better access the Japanese consumer market for autos?
