My question is to the Premier. Some $15 billion in public funds have been committed to build the NextStar battery plant in Windsor, with a third of that committed by the province. On this side of the House, we welcomed that investment and the good jobs that are supposed to come with it. Stellantis-LG is potentially looking to have international workers build and staff the plant—a pretty big loophole if the province missed it.

Speaker, the government’s going to point fingers and state borders are federal, but what is this government doing right now to protect long-term Ontarian jobs at NextStar?

My question is to the Premier. We can all agree that good jobs mean a strong future. The official opposition, to that end, helped fast-track legislation to make sure that we got the VW deal done. It’s entirely unclear who dropped the ball with Stellantis—

Interjections.

My question: Will the Premier meet with the Prime Minister immediately, find out what’s gone sideways, use every tool in the toolbox and get the Stellantis deal over the finish line?
