Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 16 wordsI rise on behalf of the 6,000 auto workers in Windsor-Essex at the Windsor assembly plant.Procedure Claims · 82 wordsNext week, these workers will be laid off by Stellantis, marking the fourth shutdown before Christmas. The Liberal government has handed more than $6 billion to Stellantis, yet these workers are still without work. The government is also spending billions in foreign aid abroad and opening our market to state-subsidized Chinese EVs that compete with our own vehicles. The Prime Minister promised a deal with the U.S. by 2025. Instead, families in Essex are losing faith because they are losing their jobs. Positioning · 5 wordsNo deal means no jobs.Positioning Claims · 18 wordsThese workers are not asking for government handouts. They are asking to work and provide for their families. The ask · 32 wordsThe Liberal budget should put Canadian workers first, reduce foreign aid spending, stop opening our market to state-subsidized Chinese vehicles and take action to prevent Canada’s auto industry from being hollowed out. Positioning · 14 wordsEssex workers have paid the price for the government’s failures for far too long.Positioning
