Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hopes to make aerospace announcements in the coming months, as Bombardier Inc. Chief Executive Officer Alain Bellemare said discussions on the company’s year-old aid request are “taking a different path.”
Trudeau spoke to reporters in Ottawa Thursday after Bellemare gave a presentation to investors in New York. The Bombardier head said discussions continue as the company looks at “adding flexibility” to weather unexpected risks and new product launches.
