While touting the federal government’s latest budget, Nickel Belt Liberal MP Marc Serré issued some barbs at Premier Doug Ford, whose government killed electric vehicle efforts
In promotion of the latest federal budget, International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen joined Nickel Belt Liberal MP Marc Serré for a media conference in Chelmsford on April 25.
The budget includes investments in electric vehicles, including a 10-per-cent tax credit on the cost of buildings used in key segments of the electric vehicle supply chain, $607.9 million for Transport Canada to top-up incentives for the zero-emissions vehicle program and ongoing funding for electric-vehicle charging stations.
Hussen also took note of an announcement made in Alliston, Ont., earlier in the day in which Honda Canada pledged a $15-billion boost for electric vehicle production, including $5 billion of public funds between the federal and provincial governments. Honda is slated to build a new electric vehicle battery plant next to their assembly plant, which will be retooled to produce fully electric vehicles.
Bellanger has been around for 53 years, and was also one of the first dealerships in Greater Sudbury to install electric-vehicle charging stations, Serré added. Referencing the students behind him, Hussen said they “are asking us to continue to work every single day to build a cleaner, safer environment for the next generation. They deserve to live in a Canada, and in a community, that ensures we are protecting the environment, that we are transitioning to renewable energy options and solutions and are also protecting our biodiversity.
