The Quebec government is expected to announce that it’s preparing to inject hundreds of millions of dollars into Airbus to build A220 aircrafts at Montreal’s Mirabel plant.
Premier François Legault will be making the announcement this afternoon alongside Quebec Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy, Pierre Fitzgibbon.
The Mirabel assembly plant currently has 1,300 employees, but it’s not yet known whether this investment will lead to any new jobs.
Legault will be holding a press conference at 1:45 p.m. to discuss the details.
