🔮 Announcement comes after U.S. finalized rolling back fuel economy standards
Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are expected to unveil new support for auto companies making clean investments during a time of uncertainty caused by the trade war with the U.S., CBC News has learned
A source with knowledge of the announcement that is expected later Wednesday said it includes addressing Canada's greenhouse gas standards after the Trump administration made changes on Monday.
Earlier this week, the U.S. finalized rolling back fuel economy standards for new vehicles, reversing policies meant to boost fuel efficiency and promote using electric vehicles.
Carney and Ford are slated to roll out the support package on Parliament Hill on Wednesday afternoon and are expected to be joined by their industry and finance ministers. assertive
