The Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association (CVMA) has said that it supports a modernized NAFTA agreement.

The association has also said that it will continue working with governments in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico that supports North American competitiveness and avoids any unintended harm to the industry including proposed tariffs.

“The CVMA and its members remain highly engaged with the Canadian government to support their efforts as part of these very intensive NAFTA negotiations,” stated Mark Nantais, CVMA President. “With respect to steel and aluminum tariffs, we are working closely with the Government to analyze impacts and avoid unintended outcomes that could undermine automotive investments, competitiveness and the thousands of jobs generated by the auto industry in Canada.”
