Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pledged measures to support the Canadian auto industry after U.S. tariffs came into force, including removing the GST on cars assembled in Canada and creating a fund to support affected businesses.

Poilievre said on April 3 the GST measure would remain in place as long as U.S. tariffs are imposed and he encouraged provincial premiers to drop their sales tax on new vehicles in addition.
