About the Canadian Automotive Partnership Council

Committees

To assist the Canadian Automotive Partnership Council in fulfilling its mandate, five committees have been created to reflect the evolution of the industry while addressing ongoing challenges. Each committee is chaired by a CAPC member or members and meets at regular intervals to identify key issues affecting their respective areas of responsibility, monitor the evolution of the industry, and formulate action plans.

Trade Committee

Objective: Foster trade policies and trade relationships that enhance the business case for automotive investments in Canada, and study the impact of Canada-U.S. border flows and throughput on auto industry costs and efficiency.

Building the Automotive Supply Chain Committee

Objective: Identify opportunities and challenges associated with building a resilient automotive supply chain, including by considering factors to retain and attract production mandates regardless of propulsion.

Regulatory Efficiency Committee

Objective: Identify regulatory efficiency opportunities, including those that may better harmonize overall North American regulations, and study opportunities related to federal, provincial and interprovincial regulation.

Manufacturing Competitiveness Committee

Objective: Analyze and benchmark the competitiveness of manufacturing in Canada against other jurisdictions with whom Canada competes for mandates and investments.

Talent Attraction and Skills Development Committee

Objective: Identify opportunities to support Canada’s automotive workforce as plants retool for electric vehicle production and sales regulations come into force, as well as employers who have expressed concern about labour and skills shortages.
