Mr. Chair, I want to thank my hon. colleague for giving me an opportunity to point out that yes, while tariffs have been the catalyst, for the last 10 years we have dealt with serious structural problems in our economic environment and a structural issue around regulation. Our country is so overly regulated that we are actually approaching the point of miracle in this country.
We have a tax framework issue that makes our businesses completely uncompetitive. We have an industrial carbon tax, which is adding costs. We have a crazy EV mandate, which everyone in the auto industry admits needs to be repealed immediately so we can breathe life into the sector.
Therefore, while the tariffs are a major issue, there are concrete actions the Liberal government could take today to benefit the auto sector. It is just choosing not to, and honestly, at this point, I really do not understand why.
