Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters that the government proposal would “align our incentives in Canada and in the United States, to make sure that there was no slippage or no unfair advantages on one side or the other.” (The Logic)

Talking point: The comment comes after the government said late Friday it would publish a list of “retaliatory actions” against multiple U.S. sectors and specific businesses if Congress approved tax credits favouring domestically made electric vehicles. At a child-care announcement with New Brunswick, a reporter asked Trudeau whether White House officials were receptive at a visit last month to making Canadian-assembled electric vehicles eligible for U.S. tax credits. He said the conversations about multiple proposals are ongoing. Meanwhile, bets on the potential for EVs keep coming. The White House rolled out its EV charging plan and Magna said it’s bringing an all-electric powertrain to market next year.
