Canada is expected to hold a press conference Monday, attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, to announce its support for General Motors' (NYSE:GM) multi-billion-dollar investment in two plants, including one that will produce electric commercial vehicles, reports Reuters citing a government source.
The federal government and Ontario's provincial government will invest in the two GM plants in Ingersoll and Oshawa, said the source, who provided no further details and was not authorized to speak on the record.
