Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, "The investments announced today will create good paying jobs, grow Canada's middle class, and ensure a brighter future for all Canadians. Meeting with CEO Mary Barra at the World Economic Forum, I made the case for investing in Canada. I applaud GM for choosing Canada to be the home base for its global centre for advanced vehicle software development."

Premier Kathleen Wynne said, "Our government welcomes the long-term commitment to Ontario that GM has shown with this investment. Our province's talented and highly skilled workforce, world-class research universities and leadership in innovation make Ontario a great place to grow a business. Our investments in people's talent and skills and in the transition to a low-carbon economy are helping us deliver on our top priority - creating jobs and growth."
