Construction of the plant, a joint venture between Stellantis and LG, was paused this week as the companies seek more government help.
Recommended from EditorialOttawa matched Biden’s subsidies in its deal with Volkswagen, which could give the company $13 billion for production costs, on top of more than $1 billion for construction of its battery plant in St. Thomas, Ont.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he is disappointed to hear Freeland suggest Ontario isn’t contributing. He said they’re giving the same support for Stellantis that they did for Volkswagen and it’s up to Freeland to handle production subsidies. It's disappointing it's come to this right now, but we believe in working with the federal government.“We appreciate that your government has provided us with five separate written documents confirming your commitment to match the production incentives under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act,” they wrote.
Freeland didn’t answer why Ontario was being asked to contribute more to this deal than they had with Volkswagen, but said there was a broader question of regional fairness.
