How does Adam Chambers's voting record line up with your values?
Is it your position that Canadian automakers will export vehicles from Canada around the world to markets other than in the United States?
Well, I look forward to the information that you'll share with the committee that shows the dollar value that Canadian automakers have received from—
Okay, so Honda and Toyota have told you, for example, that they believe they can build cars in Canada and export them to the Middle East, Asia or elsewhere.
Is your testimony that Canadian automakers have approached the government to say that they believe there's a global market?
The question is this. Are you aware of any economic analysis that your department or any department in the government has done that supports the notion that Canadian automakers will export or can export vehicles elsewhere?
In my remaining time, if I'm wrong, do you think that you'd be able to provide to the committee the amount of money that's been remitted to Canadian automakers under the remissions process?
Well, no company has come to any of the committees on Parliament Hill or gone to the media to suggest that this is a viable business plan.
Do you recall using this line? You've used it a few times. In mid- to late February, you used the line in a CTV interview and also in a speech. You said Canadians would make “the best cars in the world, for the world”. Do you remember that line?

Has your department done economic analysis on this business case? Is there economic analysis that the government has done that shows it's viable for Canadian automakers to produce vehicles here to export them to Asia or Europe, as an example?
My understanding is that there's supposed to be a remissions process set up for the auto sector. It's been a year. My understanding is that the remissions process is still not set up. Are you aware of that?
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition on behalf of the residents, recreational users, camp owners and indigenous communities surrounding Lake Couchiching who are concerned about an aerodrome being placed on the water, on the lake. It is a very busy lake. These individuals would like to see more consultation done before aerodromes are allowed to be placed in certain locations. They are
