Auto Drive America | Dec 22, 2021

This morning I had a very informative meeting with Jennifer Safavian, President of Auto Drive America. We spoke about many topics but first and foremost we covered the issue of the tax credit that will be given to those who buy made-in-America electric vehicles within the US. Not to mention the negative impact it will have on Canada it will also have impact on those workers in the US who work for international auto companies and sell electric vehicles. I will be working on this issue in my role on the International Trade Committee. Thank you Jennifer for the insightful conversation from a US perspective!
