“Canadian car makers cannot switch from making mostly gas cars to only electric cars in eight and a half years. The minister promised not to let in cheap Chinese cars, but his government is letting 50,000 of them into Canada each year. Does he still stand by his promise?”
“Mr. Chair, so in eight and a half years, he is saying that Canadian auto manufacturers will go from producing 1.6% of their vehicles as fully electric to 100%. No, that is absolutely impossible. The minister said Canada “would never be a back door to cheap Chinese vehicles which are overly subsidized”. Does he still believe that, in light of his government letting in 50,000 Chinese vehicles into Canada every year?”
