PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED
  
    We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
    
      THAT successive governments have said they stand with autoworkers and support the Canadian automotive industry;
      THAT, by not taking action to address the thousands of lost jobs or by maintaining the Automotive Innovation Fund, there is no longer direct support or incentive to the industry to maintain current investments and keep jobs in Canada;
      THAT, the federal government commissioned a Report to invest and transform the automotive industry in Canada for the future and has taken no action to date;
      THAT auto jobs directly support thousands of spin-off jobs and investment in our local communities.
    
     THEREFORE, we call upon the Government of Canada to develop a National Automotive Policy that will protect Canadian autoworkers and industry.
