Canada’s minister of innovation, science and industry sat down with representatives from Ford, General Motors, Stellantis and Tesla in meetings in Detroit and California this week, as the federal government continues to pitch automakers on investing in Canada.

François-Philippe Champagne was at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit Sept. 14. He met with each of the Detroit Three automakers while in the Motor City, though few details of the meetings were immediately available.

All three automakers have already committed to building electric vehicles in Canada, while GM and Stellantis have made further investments in Canada’s battery supply chain. In partnership with South Korea’s Posco Chemical, GM said in March it would build a $500-million battery materials plant in Bécancour, Que. Stellantis and joint venture partner LG Energy Solution announced plans to spend $5 billion on a battery cell manufacturing plant in Windsor, Ont. the same month.
