TORONTO, Oct. 8 /CNW/ - Canada's automotive trade balance has deteriorated dramatically this year, with the country on track to record its largest automotive trade deficit in history, according to a new study released today by the Canadian Auto Workers union.

The report, Canada's Deteriorating Automotive Trade Performance, provides statistical evidence of the erosion of the country's once-impressive record in auto trade, and was authored by CAW Economist Jim Stanford.

Data covering auto exports and imports for the first seven months of this year indicate that Canada imported $4.3 billion of auto products (both finished vehicles and parts) more than it exported for that period. This year's automotive trade deficit could reach $8 billion.
