SummarySpren for "Stellantis"

• The party is committed to balancing the budget and reducing the national debt, while also investing in important social programs and infrastructure projects.

- • The government's contracts with NextStar Energy will expand Canada's EV battery production capacity, creating local jobs and lowering emissions to fight climate change.

• The opposition parties, including the NDP, joined the Conservatives in calling for the contracts to be made public, but the Liberals filibustered at committee to try to hide the contracts from the public.
