Believing that the arrival of Northvolt is "basically good news," but that landing the factory project was "laborious," the Quebec Liberals are urging the Legault government to launch a generic environmental assessment (BAPE) on the battery sector.
Panier Bleu has pulled the plug. The platform confirmed Wednesday that it was winding down its operations, effective immediately. It said revenues were not enough to ensure the survival of the Quebec merchant platform.
Premier Francois Legault displayed a banana, an orange and an apple on Wednesday to justify a more lenient scientific analysis of the Northvolt battery plant project in Monteregie.
The premier said comparing a real estate project to a battery factory project was like comparing apples and oranges, and later repeated his explanation while holding an apple, an orange and a banana.
