Yeah, most likely pushing for some type of even out tax on vehichles that are imported back into Canada from the U.S.
That's the only way it could likely work, because if they dropped the price on new Canadian vehicles it would instantly kill the used car market and residual values on existing lease contracts, as well has having a very angry mob of customers who instantly owe more on their cars than a new one costs. They would likely also take a bath on reselling any leasers they have coming back to them.
