Champagne says Ontario needs to ‘pay fair share’ to end ‘stalemate’ with Stellantis
Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne is calling on Doug Ford’s Ontario government to pay its “fair share” of subsidies in order to break the “stalemate” that saw Stellantis halt construction of its electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont., this week.
Stellantis said it stopped construction on a portion of the plant because the federal government had not delivered on what it promised and would move to “contingency plans” should Ottawa not fulfil its negotiation commitments.
“The message to our colleagues in Ontario is: ‘pay your fair share and we will bring this stalemate, if you want, to a conclusion,'” Champagne told reporters in Seoul, Korea on Tuesday.
