OSHAWA, Ont. — The federal and Ontario governments are spending $259 million each to support production at General Motors facilities in the province, including an electric vehicle production line they say will be the first of its kind in the country.
Federal Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne touted the electric van production plans at the company's CAMI manufacturing plant in Ingersoll, Ont., as the first full-scale electric vehicle production facility in Canada.
"This is big news for Canada. This is big news for Ontario. It's big news for the auto sector," Champagne said at the announcement in Oshawa, Ont., on Monday. He said it would help secure a place for Ontario and Canada as the auto manufacturing sector shifts towards electric production.
