“Our electric vehicle rebates work, and car makers support them. Companies are investing in new plants and battery factories across Ontario with government help. We will keep supporting this industry.”
“Mr. Speaker, the head of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, on Monday, at committee, said that the rebate policy was a good policy and that it embraced the purchases of the kinds of vehicles Canadians want. In terms of EVs and other kind of investments, the good news is that there is new investment coming, the PowerCo plant in St. Thomas, the NextStar facility, which has rolled off one million battery cells. We have new investments in Cambridge, Oshawa and Oakville. There are investments in St. Catharines. Investments in our sector are happening with the government’s support and because there is confidence in this industry. It is a coast-to-coast sector, with concentration in southern Ontario, and we will continue to be there for that.”
