The government has given a repayable loan to Bombardier for $372M, split between the Global business jet project and the C series. The Conservative government gave similar loans to Bombardier late in their mandate.
Bombardier has a good product, and if they need some help, I'm fine with it. I wouldn't want to lose all of those high paying, highly educated aerospace jobs.
I don't agree with the bailout loans, pull the plug and let grandma die and let someone else take over the factories that can do it efficiently- Boeing, airbus, etc.
The factory and robots etc. Aren't goin anywhere, maybe new tenants who can restructure how things run would be good for aerospace in the long run.
