Mr. Speaker, the situation is critical for Lion Electric, and the Prime Minister must keep his promise.
In 2021, the Prime Minister personally visited Lion's plant to announce billions for the zero emission transit fund. The Prime Minister told Lion to prepare for a flood of bus orders from Canada. That never materialized, primarily because of the federal government's refusal to provide the full subsidy amounts promised to potential buyers.
Will the Prime Minister finally keep his promise and unfreeze his zero emission transit fund without delay?
