My question is for the Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. Speaker, when the Liberals were in office, they actively implemented policies that were intended to cripple our auto sector. They knew the electric vehicle revolution was under way, but they didn’t believe our auto sector could compete with China and other US states. As a result, they looked on, with the NDP, as automakers and good-paying jobs fled our province.

Thankfully, our government quickly reversed course as soon as we took office. We know Ontario has everything to be the leader in electric vehicle production, and that’s why we have worked to secure more than $27 billion in EV investments over the past three years.

Speaker, can the minister please highlight any recent auto investments that are strengthening Ontario’s position as a leader in electric vehicle production?
