The controversy surrounding Edison Motors, as reported by Global News. Learn all about the ongoing government issues and stay informed on the latest developments.

Welcome back to our channel, everyone! In today's video, we dive deep into the ongoing controversy surrounding Edison Motors and a government grant. This isn't just local news anymore - Global News is covering it, and we're here to share our perspective.

The Spark of Optimism: We start with the initial excitement around B.C.'s Go-electric commercial vehicle pilot program, highlighting our groundbreaking work at Edison Motors - North America's first builders of a hybrid electric logging truck, and only Heavy Duty truck manufacturer in B.C.

Rejection and Confusion: The unexpected twist? Our grant application got rejected! For the only company solely focused on commercial heavy-duty electric trucks in B.C., this was a baffling setback.

The M.N.P. Proposal: We then unravel the peculiar offer from M.N.P., the well-known accounting firm. They proposed to assist with our grant applications for a hefty fee - 20% of the grant. Here's the catch: M.N.P. also administers grant programs. Red flags, anyone?

Is there a conflict of interest for companies who administer grand applications, to also administer grants? Should 20% of our carbon taxes be going to firms that do the paperwork to get the grants?

Uncovering the Conflict: We discuss our decision to bring these concerns to the legislature, leading to a governmental refusal to investigate, followed by a sudden change of heart due to new evidence.

A Heated Debate: Watch as the political drama unfolds with the N.D.P. and the Conservatives. Accusations fly, and calls for RCMP investigations are made.

Solidarity in Struggle: We're not the only ones affected. It's said that other companies have shared similar stories of rejection and an offer from M.N.P.

No End in Sight: The auditor's investigation is underway, but with no clear timeline, the controversy continues to simmer.

In this video, we lay out all the facts, voice our concerns, and ask the hard questions. It's a tale of hope, confusion, and a quest for fairness in the world of commercial vehicle electrification. Stay tuned as we keep you informed about every twist and turn in this ongoing saga.
