May 14 (Reuters) - Honda ( HMC ) has assured Canada

that no jobs will be lost and it is committed to major electric

vehicle investments in the country, Industry Minister Melanie

Joly said on Wednesday, in the wake of the Japanese carmaker

announcing it would put on hold a plan to build an EV supply

chain in Canada.

"Workers will keep their good-paying jobs and working

conditions won't change," Joly said in a statement posted on X

following a conversation with Honda's ( HMC ) Canada boss Dave Jamieson.
