Mr. Speaker, time is running out for Lion Electric, and the federal government must play its part.
Lion Electric has until December 16 to reach an agreement with its creditors. That is this coming Monday. Today, the federal government must send a clear message to investors that all the conditions are in place to restart Lion Electric's orders. It must immediately announce to potential buyers of electric buses that they will receive the much-touted subsidy provided for in the zero emission transit fund.
Will Ottawa finally get moving?
