I have some experience in the auto sector. I was at Magna International for a number of years, and my father-in-law is a career GM man who just retired. He lives in Oshawa. I have a lot of respect for the auto industry here in Ontario as a driver of our economy.
I want to comment briefly. I was around the auto sector in 2007, 2008, and 2009, when, as we all know, sales were plummeting. We were thankful that both the provincial and federal governments at the time saw the importance of the auto sector to the economy and helped some of the auto companies get through that time.
Now we're looking at robust sales. They've been robust since 2010 and they're growing. What obstacles are there here in Ontario? It seems that the Ontario auto sector isn't able to tap into the increased sales market. What stands in our way? What improvements can we make? What sort of structures need to be in place to make sure that we can tap into that in Ontario so that we maintain a thriving sector here?
