OTTAWA -- The Canadian government needs to get a better idea from Chrysler Canada about the implications for this country of the company's financial restructuring plan, says Industry Minister Tony Clement.

In an interview Sunday on CTV's "Question Period," Clement said he's especially interested in finding out what product lines the Chrysler LLC Chrysler has in mind for its plants in Windsor and Brampton, Ontario.

Chrysler provided only a sketchy outline of its latest proposals Friday, sending a brief covering letter to the federal and Ontario governments that added little to plans previously submitted to the new Obama administration in the United States.

Chrysler said it didn't have to go into great detail about developments north of the border because its American and Canadian operations are so highly integrated.

But the paucity of new information disappointed some industry analysts, and Clement made it clear he wasn't satisfied.

"We do have an integrated market," he said. "But at the same time, if we're talking about Canadian taxpayer dollars, we do want to have some specifics about what exactly is going to be going on in Canada. I think that message did get through."

Clement said the government asked for more information and some additional material arrived on the weekend and will be analyzed by officials.

He also noted that Chrysler isn't asking for any more government aid in Canada beyond the $1 billion Canadian in bridge financing already requested last year.

"That has not flowed to Chrysler as of yet. ... We're in (the process of) kind of the last T's being crossed an I's being dotted on that."

General Motors Corp. informed Clement and his Ontario counterpart Michael Bryant on Friday that the company will need more than the $3 billion in aid already sought in Canada, but it put no precise figure on the latest request.

GM also indicated it will trim its Canadian operations to 7,000 employees by next year and slash its dealer network in the country. It said, however, that Canadian vehicle production will be maintained at between 17 and 20 percent of the total between 2009 and 2014.
