Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be in Windsor Wednesday for a roundtable discussion.

Few details surrounding his visit are being released at this time, but the deputy press secretary says there will be an announcement Thursday regarding the new border crossing.  Anna Tomala says the visit also includes a roundtable with auto manufacturers.

The prime minister's office sent out a news release late Tuesday saying Harper will be at the Waterfront Hotel in downtown Windsor Wednesday at 6pm. Minister of Public Works and Government Services Diane Finley and Essex MP Jeff Watson are expected to join him.
