CVMA statement on securing the automotive supply chain

September 25, 2024 PRESS RELEASE

Statement by Brian Kingston, President & CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association:

 

“The success of Canada’s automotive industry depends on integration with the much larger U.S. economy. Fundamental to this integration is alignment with the U.S. on the approach to national security in the automotive supply chain.

 

“The U.S. has identified national security risks stemming from China and Russia related to specific connected vehicle technologies—risks that also affect Canada.  We urge the federal government to evaluate these concerns and harmonize any policy solutions with the U.S. given the integrated nature of the automotive industry between our two countries.”
