Parliamentary Hearing on Canadian Auto Industry, Part 2

In the second portion of a series of Canadian Parliamentary committee hearings on the automobile industry in early March, members of the Automotive Industry subcommittee invited executives of Chrysler, Canada to examine challenges facing the auto sector in Canada, the current global economic crisis, and the impact of the U.S. auto industry on Canada. Most of the questions dealt with creating new jobs in light of the recent cutbacks at Chrysler and layoffs. Other questions centered on negotiations with CAW (Canadian Auto Workers) and unions. There were several references to the UAW and U.S. operations. close
