Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent the hard-working auto workers of Essex-Windsor, who build vehicles that keep North America moving.
Living on Canada's busiest border crossing, I understand first-hand how deeply connected Canada and the U.S. are and how vital it is to strengthen the auto sector on both sides of the border.
After 10 years of the Liberals in power, Canadian auto production has fallen by half, from over two million vehicles to just over 1.2 million. The Prime Minister promised to get tariffs removed by July 21, 2025, yet has allowed Donald Trump to collect $2 billion in tariffs from auto manufacturers.
I am here today to say no more: no more job losses, no more empty promises and no more sacrifices from our auto workers. That is why I support the Conservative plan for a tariff-free auto pact. Essex-Windsor auto workers are among the best in the world and their jobs deserve to be protected.
