It's nice that we can loan money at a profit while keeping jobs in ON's provincial volatile conditions.

dancingMan desperation setting in! Is this your round-about way of confirming that VW has no contractual obligations... has made no commitments? You're now going to fall-back on monies returned from a "commercial loan at market rates"! I appreciate your manner of stated defacto "keeping jobs" reflects upon those "meet and greets... and opening doors"! Why... that's the proverbial 'cart before the horse', hey!

They can't. It's illegal. Dumbass.

Did they say they are going to cut ties with current Canadian contactors?

Ontario’s premier has a penchant for appointing committees. Kathleen Wynne is big on committees. Whenever an issue comes up on which the premier feels she needs a greater understanding, she sets up a committee. It’s easy to mock, but at least it’s an acknowledgement that the government doesn’t feel it already has all the answers.

Her latest outreach isn’t for a committee per se, but for an expert. A committee of one. This expert needs to know about the auto industry. Not just the stuff everyone reads in the papers, but someone with insider knowledge and a keen grasp of the industry’s direction. As Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid put it: “We want global intelligence to determine, for instance, what are the next five or 10 mandates that are going to take place globally over the next five or 10 years … What we’ve lacked in the past has been sector knowledge that you probably can’t get from the government that you need to get from the sector itself.”

SO the high Canadian dollar caused by BIG OIL did not cause Dutch Disease as MF tried to have us believe. Going to be tough on him to know that it was just good old fashioned greed at home that destroyed manufacturing in Ontario.

Under World Trade Organization rules, governments can’t tie most loans directly to specific purchases.

Instead, Volkswagen makes a commitment to meet Canadian suppliers and look at what they have to offer. EDC arranges “meet-and-greet” sessions between Volkswagen and Canadian vendors.

“When we lend money like this, Canadian suppliers will tend to get more in contracts than we’ve lent,” Mr. Burlock said.

Roughly 5,000 Canadian companies – 90 per cent of them small and medium enterprises – have won contracts following similar financing deals, according to EDC
