Phase 2 is now delayed despite well over $126 million from the taxpayer being spent.⁶ GM’s CAMI facility is in Oshawa with $244 million from the taxpayer.⁷ Their BrightDrop EV project was shelved.⁸ Of course, Honda just recently suspended indefinitely a $15-billion electric vehicle project in Ontario, citing issues with global EV demand.⁹ The Liberals’ cornerstone, the NextStar Energy facility that was supposed to build and be a world leader in electric car batteries, is no longer making EV batteries.¹⁰ In fact, the auto company involved with that, Stellantis, has pulled out altogether.¹¹ The question · 23 wordsI will just ask the minister again if he feels his promises are being delivered on an electric vehicle supply chain in Canada?
