The electric vehicle battery plant being built in Windsor, Ontario, will temporarily employ hundreds of South Koreans, the company NextStar Energy has confirmed.

The Liberal government has downplayed throughout the week information from the Windsor Police to the effect that 1,600 South Korean workers would be coming to help set up the plant subsidized by $15 billion in taxpayer funds. The information came from a meeting with the South Korean ambassador.
