OTTAWA, May 4 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau, pressed on a possible aid package for Bombardier Inc
BBDb.TO , said on Wednesday it is important to have global
companies like the Quebec-based jet maker creating jobs in
Canada.
Bombardier has asked Canada for $1 billion in aid to support
its new CSeries passenger jet but Trudeau's new Liberal
government has not yet announced a decision.
The government has previously said it wants assurances on
jobs and the location of the company's headquarters, which are
in the predominantly French-speaking province of Quebec.
"Having important companies with a global footprint like
Bombardier create those jobs here at home is an important part
of the kind of economy we need to build," Trudeau told reporters
on Wednesday.
Trudeau said the government's goal is to have a strong
aerospace sector in the short and long term that will lead to
good jobs.
"That is certainly our hope and that is the nature of the
conversations we're having right now with Bombardier," he said.
Bombardier's long-delayed and over-budget CSeries planes got
some support last week in the form of a major order from Delta
Air Lines DAL.N .
