That, given that,
(i) auto production in Canada has halved since the Liberals took office in 2015, including another 7.8% since this Prime Minister took office,
(ii) Canada lost over 5,000 jobs in the auto sector since the Prime Minister took office,
(iii) exports of passenger cars and light trucks have fallen by more than 53% since the Prime Minister took office,
(iv) unjustified American tariffs threaten to end our auto sector,
(v) the idea of a permanent rupture with the US auto market is a dangerous illusion as the US buys 90% of Canadian-made automobiles and the rest of the world buys 1%,
(vi) the Liberal government has failed so far to table a plan that would persuade Americans to remove tariffs on Canadian goods,
the House call on the government to support the Conservative plan to double automotive production through a tariff-free auto pact that includes:
(a) making it easier to build and buy Canadian by removing the GST on all Canadian-made vehicles, ending counterproductive Liberal EV mandates and rebates, and harmonizing tailpipe emissions reductions with our North American partners;
(b) bringing home production through performance by implementing a rule where for every car produced in Canada, the same manufacturer would get to sell a car in Canada, duty-free, from a CUSMA partner, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, similar to the 1965 Canada-US Auto Pact;
(c) protecting North American supply chains by maintaining the minimum 75% North American content and existing CUSMA rules of origin;
(d) developing automotive security and technology by creating a harmonized North American cybersecurity and data standard, while banning vehicles using software connected to China or Russia; and
(e) standing firm against unfair trade by aligning with North American partners on Chinese tariffs if they accept this plan, for maximum leverage in CUSMA renegotiations,
to secure tariff-free access to the US market, and to save and expand Canada's auto industry.
