In a high-stakes diplomatic push, Canadian Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, François-Philippe Champagne's predecessor, François-Philippe Joly, is set to embark on a crucial mission to Shanghai, where he will meet with key Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers. The government is keen to attract significant investment from the auto sector, with EVs emerging as a key area of focus in Canada's economic development strategy. By engaging with Chinese industry leaders, Mr. Joly aims to capitalize on the country's growing EV market and create new opportunities for Canadian businesses. The trip comes as Canada seeks to bolster its economy and reduce its reliance on the US market.
