Madam Speaker, the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association is an important arm of the automotive industry, but let us talk about recovering the automotive industry.
The automotive loans that the government provided were at 11%. Right now Chrysler is identifying its biggest threat going forward, which is the loan value is so high that it is crippling its recovery. That came out recently.
When we look at that and the fact that the Conservative government has produced a high dollar policy for oil and gas, how do we compete when we have an artificially high dollar? We are watching the U.S. dollar devalue and the exports for raw materials and manufacturing is taking it on the chin. That is the worst type of policy and it needs to change. This is the real problem.
