My recommendation was to not open the entire market, specifically, for Chinese vehicles, as an example, but to have a conditional quota there. It's similar to what, for example, China did with Tesla. Back in 2019, they allowed Tesla to open a Gigafactory in China. They gave them cheap credit and cheap loans. They allowed them to invest there but on the condition that a Chinese supplier needed to be involved.
I see this as an opportunity for Canada as well in a similar fashion. It's not to just open to markets specifically and allow vehicles to be sold here, because that would have a significant impact on our workers, and we're not going to gain much out of it. The point is that if we open that, there needs to be a condition on the engineering content and IP specifically for Canadians to have Canadian suppliers involved. That's simply my recommendation to the committee.
