Harper will be joined by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder at the 12:10 p.m. event. Speculation is rampant that Harper will announcement the name of the new international bridge to be built between west Windsor and west Detroit.

CBC has not been able to confirm what exactly Harper will announce with Snyder.

CBC Windsor plans to live stream the noon announcement, as it did the 9:30 a.m. event.

Wednesday night, Harper held a roundtable discussion with members of the auto parts industry at the Waterfront Hotel.
