Future of Ontario’s Stellantis battery plant remains unclear as Ford slams Ottawa
“It’s disappointing it’s come to this right now. But we believe in working with the federal government. We can’t afford to lose Stellantis. But my question to the feds: ‘What is our fair share?’” Mr. Ford said.
“I’m just disappointed right now, the fact that we weren’t involved, they never talked to us,” he said. “At the 11th hour they’re doing this. But our goal is to protect the people and the jobs in Windsor, and we’ll do whatever it takes to protect those jobs.” Ms. Freeland made the comments Wednesday outside the Liberal caucus. She reiterated her view that she remains optimistic a deal will be reached, but said the Ford government and Stellantis must do more.
Meanwhile, Mr. Trudeau and Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne were in South Korea for an official visit on Wednesday, where Mr. Champagne said he would attempt to meet with LG leadership during a state dinner on Wednesday night.
