The automotive industry has been badly affected by global tightness in semiconductor supplies, which have in some cases forced companies to suspend production lines.
Chris Lewis, a member of parliament from Ontario which is home to Ford Motor Co<\/a> and other auto factories, told reporters on a visit to Taiwan as part of a Canadian parliamentary delegation that the lack of chips continued to bite.
\"We've got parking lots full of cars, finished product cars, that sit in the parking lot, can't be sold, because we don't have semiconductors,\" he said.
The province is close to U.S. automakers in Michigan and Ohio, with a closely connected supply chain.
Lewis said they had met senior executives at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd<\/a> (TSMC<\/a>), the world's largest contract chipmaker, while on their trip, along with other companies, to ask them to \"put Canada<\/a> at the top of the list\".
\"I think every single meeting, including the upper levels of government, I brought up there are very major shortages of chips. It was a very broad conversation and every time we said 'please send us more chips'.\"
Lewis said they got reassurances that Taiwan is working \"very diligently\" to build more chips, but he added that ultimately what would be best would be chip manufacturing in Canada or the United States.
\"The conversation needs to be larger than that. It needs to be so how do we use their technology, use their expertise, get them over, train them and start building them in North America, build them in Canada, build them in the United States.\"
TSMC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The company is constructing a $12 billion plant in the U.S. state of Arizona.

汽车工业已严重受到全球半导体供应紧张的影响,在某些情况下已经迫使公司暂停生产线。
一位议员克里斯·刘易斯是安大略省福特汽车(f.n:行情)和其他汽车工厂告诉记者,访问台湾的加拿大议会代表团,缺少芯片继续咬人。
“我们有停车场的汽车、成品车,坐在停车场,不能卖,因为我们没有半导体,”他说。
该省已接近美国汽车制造商在密歇根州和俄亥俄州,供应链紧密相连。
刘易斯说,他们遇到的资深高管台湾半导体制造有限公司(台积电),全球最大的芯片代工商,而在他们的旅行,以及其他公司,问他们“把加拿大顶部的列表”。
“我认为每一个会议,包括高层次的政府,我带芯片的主要有非常短缺。这是一个非常广泛的对话,每次我们说‘请寄给我们更多的芯片’。”
刘易斯说,他们得到了保证台湾正在非常努力建立更多的芯片,但他补充说,最终将是最好的芯片制造业在加拿大或美国。
“谈话需要大于。需要我们怎么使用他们的技术,利用他们的专业知识,让他们过去,火车开始构建他们在北美,构建他们在加拿大,构建在美国。”
台积电没有立即回复记者的置评请求。
该公司建造一个120亿美元的工厂在美国亚利桑那州。
