Industry committee  Yes. I had a call with two provinces this morning, so yes, we are looking at what things we can do to coordinate.

Industry committee  If I can answer that to start off with, first of all, thank you for driving an electric car from Chevrolet. We intend to see a huge turnover of our General Motors fleet into electric vehicles, from pickup trucks down through the entire fleet of vehicles we offer. We are building

Industry committee  I can jump in on that. I know that the Ontario government's been interested in really significantly ramping up the volume of testing. Much of the testing protocols in our plants is to make sure that we respond when we have somebody in the workplace who catches a fever or somethin

Industry committee  Drive-through testing is something that is attractive. We've set aside a parking lot in Oshawa that is sitting there available for Health Canada or others in Ontario to set up a drive-through testing capability. We have bottlenecks of times when our shifts change in plants, but w

Industry committee  I can add to that. There is some pent-up demand in terms of people returning leases and other things that will help in the very short term. All the regular crystal ball tool kit has kind of been thrown out the window right now. We need to see what behaviour is going to look like

Industry committee  General Motors is in the same area, yes. I think you'll find that right across the auto sector.

Industry committee  The problem with that approach is that we would only be promoting a handful of vehicles when the market buys hundreds of vehicles from different people all around the world. I'd say a couple of things. I think we can design a scrappage program that will give us a dividend in gr

Industry committee  Yes, that's approximately where we're at right now. We're always going to continue looking at what else we can do.

Industry committee  I expect we're going to see full production of masks this week. Things are moving along really well. I'm so proud of the capability of my company in the United States, first of all, to design the machinery to make masks in the first place, to go into our supply chain. One of the

Industry committee  Thank you very much, and on behalf of General Motors, I want to say thank you to the committee for the leadership that all of you have displayed during this health crisis. Times of emergency are when we truly demonstrate Canadian bravery, resilience and our unique spirit of par

International Trade committee  We look at all the policy aspects. Famously, we talk a lot about electricity costs right now in Ontario.

International Trade committee  On recycling, we can get a competitive advantage by being landfill-free here in Canada, and we do that. There are some advantages we can take from some of the environmental policy here, too. If we can align our efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, which we're darned good at, and s

International Trade committee  Very quickly—and it's to Matt's point—I know, for example, that Perrin Beatty from the Chamber of Commerce has been visiting in various states with Congress people across the United States to explain this point. One of the things about that sort of scary scenario I have is that

International Trade committee  You've outlined very well some of the key things we look into. In fact, hats off to the Ontario and federal governments, which have actually assigned someone to come to us and ask for our list, for the first time. There's a process we go through, and part of it involves our negot

International Trade committee  I can add to that, just to put a finer point on it. Effectively, some of the proposals—there's more than one in the United States—would fund a tax cut in the United States through a border adjustment tax, which could place a tax of anywhere up to 20% on everything that we send in
