OTTAWA, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Canada's Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Thursday she met with Honda Motor representatives about a potential electric vehicle plant in the country.

"I had a meeting with Honda and it's a company that has been a very important investor in Canada," Freeland told reporters in Toronto, adding that other government officials also had meetings with the Japanese automaker.

"That's a very important relationship, and our work with them is ongoing," Freeland said, without specifying when the meetings took place.
