Hamilton is getting about 300 clean technology jobs in a $5 million deal with a Chinese company.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty announced the joint venture deal Nov. 9 between the Hamilton based JNE Consulting and the Chinese Dago Group Co. Ltd that is expected to be completed by 2012.
“We are talking about 300 jobs in the exciting new Ontario clean tech industry,” said McGuinty at JNE Consulting’s office on Shaw Street in Hamilton’s north end. “It means 300 moms and dads who will have these jobs will be able to look their kids in the eye with hope and optimism.”
The project, forged by JNE Consulting in a trade mission to China four years ago, could include manufacturing jobs in Stoney Creek. JNE Consulting is part of the Joe Ng Group of Companies that employ up to 400 people in 20 countries. It maintains offices in Hamilton, U.S. and China.

It appears that the Spec is oblivious to the Premier being in town to make the announcement. More than three hours after the announcement, still nothing on their site.
