Canada’s industry minister says the Ontario government hasn’t committed to paying its “fair share” to help advance negotiations with automaker Stellantis NV over an electric-vehicle battery plant.
François-Philippe Champagne said the Canadian government will be competitive with the US when it comes to the auto sector. “What we now need is for Ontario to pay its fair share. Full stop. Windsor is a key place to build our EV ecosystem,” the minister said Monday night on Twitter, referring to the southern Ontario city where the plant would be located.
