“Car manufacturing in Canada has dropped by more than half, and major electric vehicle projects have been cancelled. The Liberal government's investments in this industry have failed.”
“Mr. Speaker, I see that the member for Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong has certainly been drinking the Liberal Kool‑Aid, with her jargon, “build Canada strong” and “investment”. One important industry she did not really refer to is the automobile industry and how it has dropped from over 2.5 million units to, now, under one million. There has been a free fall there. That is one sector. There is also EV manufacturing. I think of the different companies. Honda’s $15‑billion EV and battery complex has been scrapped. Northvolt has been cut. It has been a free fall. I wonder if the member would agree with me that these Liberal investments have actually been very dubious and unfruitful.”
