The new US Administration’s policies on EVs, and threats of tariffs risk throwing the North American and Canadian ZEV supply chain into disarray. With billions committed to support Canada’s emerging EV industry as a potential lynchpin of future economic growth, where do we go from here?
Join us for a conversation with Pierre Fitzgibbon, Special Advisor, Osler, LLP and former Quebec Minister of Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade, and a key figure in catalyzing that province’s EV supply chain, and The Hon. Lisa Raitt, Vice Chair, Global Investment Banking at CIBC Capital Markets and former Conservative Government Minister of Transport, Natural Resources, and Labour.
Our conversation will examine the complexities of planning, financing, and achieving large-scale strategic industrial projects, the intricacies of working with regional and global allies, and how to establish – and stay focused on – a policy mix that will support Canadian prosperity.
Stay tuned on LinkedIn and other Accelerate networks as we will be polling our audience ahead of time for questions for our speakers.
Join us, February 10th!
