The leader of the official opposition, Marit Stiles, met with Alstom representatives to discuss keeping job opportunities in Thunder Bay.
THUNDER BAY – Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles emphasized keeping jobs in Ontario when touring Thunder Bay's Alstom plant on Wednesday.
She was impressed to see the amount of multiple skilled tradespeople who are employed at the Alstom plant and the extraordinary work it takes to assemble subway cars. The Ontario NDP has been calling on the Ford government to ensure Ontario Line subway cars are built in Thunder Bay. However, the contract was awarded to Hitachi.
Vaugeois has called out the province on its decision to lower Canadian content rules for Ontario Line subway cars from 25 per cent to just 10 per cent, which puts Ontario in a tough financial position.
