Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne says Ontario needs to bring more money to the table to end the “stalemate” with Stellantis over its new electric-vehicle battery plant.

The automaker and its partner LG Energy Solution began building the plant in Windsor, Ont., a year ago but said Monday it had stopped construction as negotiations with Canada and Ontario hit a snag.
