Liberal Leader Mark Carney says he will set up a federal fund to support the Canadian auto manufacturing sector as it faces tariffs and threats from the Trump administration.

Carney said the $2 billion Strategic Response Fund would be used to increase the competitiveness of the auto sector, protect jobs, increase training for workers, and build a more resilient supply chain extending from raw materials to finished vehicles.
