It's not just the issue down in the auto belt. My region of Timmins—James Bay is base metal country. We need markets to be able to expand to. We have mines coming on stream now.
The leader of the Conservative Party was in my riding recently and was making fun about EV cars. I don't know what's so funny about cars that are going to be using all the products our miners produce.
They want to know, in mining country and in auto country, that this government has their back, that they are going to continue the kinds of investments that we've seen in Volkswagen, that they're not going to blow Stellantis, and that they will make Ontario a centre for EV battery production.
What commitments will this government make to make sure that happens?
