Ontario's auto sector: more than $7 billion in new investment

A strong auto sector is key to Ontario's economic growth and success. Focusing on innovation, strategic skills training and public infrastructure, the McGuinty government is working to ensure Ontario remains a leader in North American auto production.

Launched in April 2004, the government's Ontario Automotive Investment Strategy (OAIS) has used less than $500 million to attract more than $7 billion in new auto sector investment.
