In the interview, APMA President Flavio Volpe argues that Canada’s EV sales mandate is misaligned with market reality and risks undermining domestic auto production and jobs. He also cautions that admitting Chinese EVs without strict local-content rules would undermine Canadian jobs and distort the market. “The reason why the Chinese manufacturers are so successful is that they suppress the costs and flood markets with exports,” said Volpe and adding that if they were to come to Canada, they “have to meet the local content requirements of the USMCA.”
