MPs voted unanimously to probe a growing auto theft black market that sees Canadian vehicles stolen and then exported to other countries.

During a meeting of the Commons public safety committee on Oct. 23, Bloc Québécois MP Kristina Michaud put forward a motion to “study car thefts in Canada as well as federal resources to fight crime,” which all members supported.
