TORONTO, Oct 8 (Reuters) - The leader of Canada's opposition
New Democrats, pressed about possible Chinese investment in
Bombardier Inc BBDb.TO , on Thursday said Ottawa should ensure
key sectors such as aerospace were protected.
Thomas Mulcair made the comments after he was asked about
whether a government led by him would allow a Chinese company to
buy a majority stake in Bombardier's CSeries project. Polls show
the New Democrats trailing in the run up to an Oct 19 election.
The prime minister and government should use its authority
to "make sure that key sectors of our economy like aerospace,
like the auto sector, are not sold off, are not imperiled to the
point where they have to be sold off," Mulcair told reporters in
Toronto.
