Madam Chair, my understanding is that the Democrats do not have enough votes in the House because Senator Manchin will not support the Build Back Better bill as it stands. He has concerns, including about the climate change provisions and the EV tax credits, so there is not enough support in the Senate to pass that legislation.
We also understand that discussions are not occurring right now between the Senate leadership and the Democratic Party, but perhaps they may continue in the future. If that does happen, we will be ready to advocate strongly for EV tax credits that allow for Canadian-assembled cars as well.
