Automaker Stellantis has stopped construction at a more-than C$5 billion ($3.7 billion) electric-vehicle battery plant in Canada amid talks with the federal and provincial governments about their support for the factory.
The federal government says it is in talks with Stellantis' management and that the issues can be resolved.
"I am absolutely confident that we're going to get a deal. But I also want to point out that the resources of the federal government are not infinite," Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters, adding that the provincial government of Ontario must do its "fair share". The Volkswagen battery gigafactory is the biggest single investment ever in the country's electric-vehicle supply chain.
"It really worries me. We need the federal government to step up as they did for Volkswagen," Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters when asked about the construction halt., aiming for an annual production capacity in excess of 45 gigawatt hours and expected to create an estimated 2,500 new jobs in the Windsor area.
