Describing\u00a0the Liberal government\u2019s approach to trade talks with the U.S. as\u00a0essentially\u00a0\u201cwaving a white flag,\u201d\u00a0Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced\u00a0a new\u00a0auto\u00a0plan\u00a0focused\u00a0on securing tariff-free access to the U.S. market.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Windsor on Sunday, Poilievre said Prime Minister Mark Carney has not lived up to his election promise of protecting jobs in the automobile sector, while stating that the Liberal government\u2019s approach to trade talks with the U.S. puts the country at a disadvantage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe has since waved the white flag,\u201d the Conservative leader said. \u201cHe seems to have accepted that American tariffs are permanent. He also seems to think that he can carry out a permanent rupture with the United States market in\u00a0favour\u00a0of other markets.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Citing recent auto job losses\u00a0since U.S. President Donald Trump announced his tariff policy, Poilievre\u00a0said the Canadian auto sector is\u00a0still\u00a0largely dependent on the U.S.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Americans buy 90% of the automobiles Canada makes. And we buy almost the rest, meaning there are almost no overseas exports of Canadian automobiles today, and that cannot be changed on a dime,\u201d Poilievre said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Increasing production ratio for Canada and U.S.<\/h3>\n

He said his party\u2019s tariff-free auto pact with the U.S. would restore manufacturing in both Canada and the U.S. and establish a \u201cone-for-one production-to-sales ratio,\u201d he said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He explained that under the current CUSMA deal, Canada and the U.S. only make 0.6 vehicles for every vehicle they buy. He said the Conservative plan would implement a rule where, for each car produced in Canada, the same manufacturer would be able to sell a U.S.- or Mexico-made car in Canada duty-free.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The plan aims to increase Canadian auto production to two million vehicles over the next decade, up from 1.2 million last year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Poilievre said Trump would agree with his plan as it would also increase production in the U.S.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
