Mr. Speaker, I wanted to pick up on a couple of points that my colleague made near the end of her speech, pointing out that 50% of Korean cars currently enter Canada duty free from the U.S. under NAFTA and that over 85% of Canadian production is exported. We know that is the current situation, but since the Korea-U.S. free trade deal was signed, U.S. auto exports to Korea have more than doubled from $340 million in 2011 to over $800 million in 2013. Since the Korea-EU agreement was signed, exports to Korea have doubled from $2 billion in 2010 to $4 billion in 2013.
\nConsidering the facts that currently 50% of Korean cars can enter Canada through the NAFTA already, if we remove these tariffs would we not expect to find similar results to the U.S. and the EU after they signed their Korea free trade agreements, with auto exports actually doubling? Also, Ford set an annual sales record last year in Korea. From 2012-13, Ford was the fastest growing brand being sold in Korea. The concerns that the Ford Motor Company had and the concerns about possibly reducing numbers, I think these numbers would indicate the opposite.
", "fr": "Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais revenir sur certains points que ma coll\u00e8gue a soulev\u00e9s vers la fin de son discours. Elle a soulign\u00e9 que 50 % des automobiles cor\u00e9ennes qui entrent au Canada viennent des \u00c9tats-Unis en franchise de droits en vertu de l'ALENA et que plus de 85 % de la production canadienne est export\u00e9e. Nous savons que c'est ce qui se passe \u00e0 l'heure actuelle, mais depuis que la Cor\u00e9e et les \u00c9tats-Unis ont conclu leur accord de libre-\u00e9change, les exportations d'automobiles des \u00c9tats-Unis en Cor\u00e9e ont plus que doubl\u00e9, passant de 340 millions de dollars en 2011 \u00e0 plus de 800 millions de dollars en 2013. Depuis que la Cor\u00e9e et les \u00c9tats-Unis ont conclu cet accord, les exportations en Cor\u00e9e ont doubl\u00e9, passant de 2 milliards de dollars en 2010 \u00e0 4 milliards de dollars en 2013.
\n\u00c9tant donn\u00e9 qu'\u00e0 l'heure actuelle, 50 % des automobiles cor\u00e9ennes peuvent d\u00e9j\u00e0 entrer au Canada en vertu de l'ALENA, si nous \u00e9liminons ces droits de douane, ne devrions-nous pas nous attendre \u00e0 obtenir des r\u00e9sultats semblables \u00e0 ceux que les \u00c9tats-Unis et l'Union europ\u00e9enne ont obtenus apr\u00e8s avoir conclu leurs accords de libre-\u00e9change, c'est-\u00e0-dire que les exportations d'automobiles doublent? Par ailleurs, l'an dernier, Ford a \u00e9tabli un nouveau record de ventes annuelles en Cor\u00e9e. Depuis 2012-2013, Ford est la marque dont les ventes connaissent la plus forte croissance en Cor\u00e9e. Ces chiffres montrent que les inqui\u00e9tudes de Ford \u2014 et de tous ceux qui craignaient une baisse des ventes \u2014 ne sont pas fond\u00e9es.
