Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by saying that the Bloc Québécois stands in solidarity with the workers who are losing their jobs at Lion Electric. It is the eleventh hour for the Quebec flagship of electric transportation, and Ottawa needs to intervene.
Lion Electric believed the Prime Minister and his government when they came to its plant in 2021 and announced billions of dollars for the electrification of transportation in Canada. Lion Electric made massive investments to be ready, but the zero-emissions transit fund did not live up to the government's promises.
Will the government finally activate its program and keep its promises?
