A modernized NAFTA that supports North American competitiveness and avoids unintended harm to the auto industry, including proposed tariffs, is the goal of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association (CVMA) in its work with governments in all three countries, according to a recent news release.
“The CVMA and its members remain highly engaged with the Canadian government to support these very intensive NAFTA negotiations,” said Mark Nantais, CVMA president.
The group is working closely with government representatives to analyze the impact of steel and aluminum tariffs, and “avoid unintended outcomes that could undermine automotive investments, competitiveness and the thousands of jobs generated by the auto industry in Canada,” Nantais said.
The CMVA has represented leading Canadian manufacturers of light and heavy duty motor vehicles for more than 90 years.
