“Who has a national auto strategy? It is the U.K., France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Australia, China, India, Sweden, Mexico, Malaysia and Nigeria,” Masse said Tuesday in the House of Commons. “They are all competing for the same jobs.”
Masse said he has repeatedly called for a national automotive strategy since he was first elected in 2002.
“In 2003, the Canadian Automotive Partnership Council released a report calling on the federal government to protect the industry and create a policy. Promise after promise, including from the former Conservative industry minister, fell by the wayside,” he said.
Last week, the council urged both Industry Minister James Moore and Ontario Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid to establish an automotive investment bureau, that would be modeled after the Automotive Office in Michigan.
“Once again, these industry leaders and experts have released another call for action to develop a strategy,” said Masse. “They are clear that the time to act is now or Canada will lose its important foothold in this industry.”
Masse said “it’s time the government work with industry and labour leaders to create a real policy, one that innovates our industry, challenges our competition and puts workers back to work.”
