Mr. Speaker, in the past four decades the auto pact was a proactive agreement that built a hugely successful auto industry in southern Ontario and Quebec. As a result of a negative WTO ruling a couple of years ago that pact is history. With its demise this prestigious industry is in crisis and the trend line in Canada is disconcerting. By next year, Canadian auto assembly will shrink by 30%.
I ask the government what plans it has to revitalize this hugely important industry.
