Mr. Speaker, a former Conservative government obtained an exemption to the buy America policy under the Obama administration. The Americans slapped it right back on again when this Prime Minister took over. He then signed a deal that allowed the expansion of buy America from being just projects at the state level to projects at the federal level. The Mexicans got an exemption. Will the Prime Minister finally do what the Mexicans and Prime Minister Harper did and try to get an exemption from buy America tomorrow?

Mr. Speaker, we saw the extent to which Americans wanted to create an electric vehicle industry in the U.S. by excluding Canada, but in our work with our American partners, we stressed just how integrated the auto manufacturing sector is on both sides of the border. We got a carve-in for electric vehicles and batteries in the U.S. inflation reduction act. We will continue to work hand in hand with our American partners to offer good jobs to Canadians, economic growth and productive competition around the world.
