The answer to that is that they are; they have been and they continue to do so.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2117141\" data-originallang=\"en\">The issue was access to credit. Access to credit was a problem that not just the auto industry experienced, but any retail, high-capital transaction that fell subject to access to credit. Dealerships could not get the credit based on the crisis we were experiencing that was not precipitated by anybody in Canada. So we have and we will continue to provide that support to them, but we need it through the Secured Credit Facility, as one example. </p>",

Or, c'est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment ce qu'ils font d\u00e9j\u00e0 et ce qu'ils vont continuer de faire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2117141\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est l'acc\u00e8s au cr\u00e9dit qui posait probl\u00e8me, et ce n'\u00e9tait pas un probl\u00e8me qui se limitait \u00e0 l'industrie de l'automobile. Tous les d\u00e9taillants ayant besoin de faire d'importants achats avaient le m\u00eame probl\u00e8me. Les concessionnaires ne pouvaient pas emprunter l'argent n\u00e9cessaire en raison du resserrement du cr\u00e9dit, dont l'origine n'\u00e9tait pas au Canada. Par cons\u00e9quent, nous avons fourni l'aide n\u00e9cessaire aux d\u00e9taillants et nous allons continuer de la leur fournir, mais ce sera d\u00e9sormais au moyen notamment de la Facilit\u00e9 canadienne de cr\u00e9dit.</p>"
