Union, MPs call for federal investment into microchip manufacturing

Union, MPs call for federal investment into microchip manufacturing

CBC
Tuesday, September 28, 2021 7:08 PM GMT

A local labour union is calling on the federal government to step in and start investing in microchip manufacturing in Canada.

Emile Nabbout, president of the Unifor Local 195, which represents 22 feeder plants for the auto industry, says Ottawa needs to work with a private firm to create a microchip production facility in Windsor so production no longer relies on offshore plants. 

"It would be something we could do as a Canadian-made product," said Nabbout.

The call comes amid a global microchip shortage that has significantly hurt Canada's automotive sector.

Employees of the Stellantis Windsor Assembly Plant returned to work on Monday after a year of sporadic employment, all due to the chip shortage. The plant, which employs around 5,000 people, has been in production for a total of 12 weeks this year. 

Windsor West NDP MP Brian Masse is in favour of Canadian chip manufacturing because it is transferable technology that could lead to other operations. He suggests the country needs a mass manufacturing strategy with an auto component in order to stay relevant in the industry.  

In June, the U.S. Senate passed a $52-billion bill to allow for domestic manufacturing of semi-conductors. Companies such as Intel and TSMC have begun building in Arizona. Masse said Canada missed an opportunity.
