Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada is launching dispute settlement proceedings against Stellantis due to the automobile manufacturer’s decision to transfer production from an Ontario plant to a facility in the United States.
“These actions are not symbolic,” Joly told the industry and technology committee on Nov. 3. “They’re the direct consequence of the violation of clear commitments … when a commitment toward the Canadian government is not respected on behalf of Canadian workers, there are consequences.”
