MPs to debate Conservative call for government to ‘fix their auto strategy’ – iPolitics
February 12th, 2026
What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
After a one-day pause in regular parliamentary programming in the wake of the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., MPs are set to return to the House of Commons today to consider a Conservative-initiated call for the government to “fix their auto strategy by scrapping the subsidies for foreign-made electric vehicles entering Canada that forces Canadian workers to subsidize $50,000 new cars” and “removing the GST on Canadian-made vehicles,” as well as “using their existing authority to reduce the amount of tax withheld on severance payments issued to workers at the GM CAMI facility in Ingersoll.”
The non-binding motion, which stands in the name of the party’s industry critic, Raquel Dancho, will go to a vote when the chamber reopens for business after the upcoming one-week hiatus.
