As Co-Chair of the Conservative Auto Caucus, it was a great opportunity this morning to host the @AIAofCanada alongside Co-Chair @ChrisLewisEssex, and joined by @KathyBorrelliMP and @mpziad. We discussed keeping Canada’s auto industry competitive, protecting skilled Canadian auto jobs, and what these priorities mean for communities like Oshawa that rely on a strong automotive manufacturing sector, including Canadians’ right to repair at independent shops. Thank you to everyone who joined us today for a productive conversation.
