Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne is calling on the Ontario government to pay its “fair share” of subsidies to break the “stalemate” that saw Stellantis halt construction of its electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont.
Champagne said he is there to reassure Korean partners that the Liberal government is optimistic that the investment will move forward but that Ontario has to stump up cash to make that happen.
Champagne said he hopes to speak with the head of LG at a state dinner hosted by South Korea's president and underlined that negotiations are still ongoing. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act introduced by the U.S. is a multi-billion dollar program aimed at boosting the American manufacturing sector by boosting the clean energy technology supply chain.
