Canada offers support for aerospace as election looms
MONTREAL (Reuters) -Canada and Quebec are ready to spend a combined C$693 million ($550 million) on aerospace projects that cut carbon emissions, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday, a boost for high-tech jobs ahead of an expected fall federal election. The total will be shared between training specialist CAE Inc, the Canadian unit of U.S. engine maker Pratt & Whitney, and Textron, the parent company of Bell Helicopter. Speaking in Montreal, Trudeau said the move would create and maintain 12,000 jobs in the province of Quebec.
