“We are being very careful to ensure that assistance is available across the board and equitably and not in a way that is simply to the benefit of certain companies or enhances some kind of protectionist agenda,” Harper told Reuters after the G20 summit.
He said Canada worked closely with the US to ensure neither government’s actions would harm the other country and was consulting with automakers other than the Detroit Three as well as with parts suppliers.
