Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the industry minister said that the U.S. president had “some new ideas on the auto industry that he's willing to look at”.
If the minister were truly at the table with the U.S., he would know these are not new ideas. Clearly, he is not there.
While President Obama is considering structured bankruptcy, with support for consumer confidence through warranty guarantees, the appointment of an auto reform director and decisive leadership, the Conservatives are doing nothing to support consumer confidence.
Why is the minister hiding in a shroud of ambiguity while our industry struggles for life?
