Description

In comments confirmed by a CBC News source and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Wednesday that Canada must accept that its auto industry will be second to the U.S. and that vehicles will be assembled on the American side of the border — adding that there's nothing Canada can do about it. Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association president Flavio Volpe asks for the prime minister to speak up about whether Ottawa is considering making those concessions. Plus, Prime Minister’s Council on Canada-U.S. Relations member Jean Charest argues that the reality of moving the industry to the U.S. is that supply chains would take decades to unravel: 'The world is not that simple.'
