Brendan Sweeney
Brendan Sweeney, managing director of the Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing, says Volkswagen’s decision to build an EV battery plant in Canada might go down as the biggest automotive win in the country’s history. He explains how many direct and indirect jobs the plant will support, tells us what the plant says about Canada and says the government is justified in financially supporting such a venture with taxpayer money.
