Wynne stunned that Chrysler won’t take $700M handout

The Ontario government was blindsided by Chrysler’s stunning U-turn on demanding up to $700 million in federal and provincial handouts, says Premier Kathleen Wynne.

Wynne said Wednesday she was “very taken aback” when Chrysler Group LLC chairman and chief executive officer Sergio Marchionne advised that the automaker would go it alone.

The premier said her officials and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government had been working closely to ensure the company keeps its operations in Brampton and in Windsor.

“I was very surprised by the letter that I received yesterday. I was very surprised that this was the tack that was taken,” she told reporters at Queen’s Park.
