Canada's Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Thursday she met with Honda Motor 7267.T representatives about locating a potential almost 2-trillion-yen (US$13.7 billion) electric vehicle plant in the country.
"I had a meeting with Honda and it's a company that has been a very important investor in Canada," Freeland told reporters in Toronto, adding that other government officials also had meetings with the Japanese automaker.
"That's a very important relationship, and our work with them is ongoing," Freeland said, without specifying when the meetings took place.
Freeland added that there had been various meetings between Honda and government officials in different departments.
On Sunday, Japan's Nikkei news group reported that Honda is looking at multiple potential sites for the plant, including next to an existing automobile factory in Alliston, Ontario.
The report said Honda expects to make a decision by the end of 2024 and bring the new facility online as early as 2028.
