Mr. Speaker, three years ago the Canadian auto industry ranked as the fourth largest in the world. It is now seventh and falling fast.
The reality is that the automobile companies can pick and choose between whether they go to the United States to states there or to Mexico. We are being outbid because there are incentives in place.
We have ignored this bidding war up until now, but the Oakville truck plant is proof positive that the competitiveness we once enjoyed is no longer there, so I ask, what are going to do? Are we going to get into an incentive arrangement so that for our plants we can ensure that this industry remains strong in Canada?
