Industry minister terminates resolution talks with Stellantis over Brampton auto plant sale
Joly says Stellantis breached a 2022 subsidy deal and may recover up to $529 million after the company moved to sell the idled plant.
- Industry Minister Joly terminated the Resolution Process with Stellantis on Thursday, citing the automaker's planned sale of its Brampton, Ont., plant to Roshel Inc. as a violation of the 2022 agreement.
- Under the 2022 agreement, Ottawa injected up to $529 million to retool Brampton and Windsor plants for Jeep Compass production, but Stellantis paused retooling in early 2025 to build the vehicle at Illinois's Belvidere Assembly Plant instead.
- Stellantis announced it would voluntarily return at least $220 million in government subsidies following the sale announcement, while about 1,800 workers remain on layoff receiving 70% pay since 2023.
- Speaking from Dublin on Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney called the planned sale "a betrayal," emphasizing the impact on workers affected by the plant's idling.
- Joly stated that Stellantis is "no longer diligently working in good faith to prepare a satisfactory plan," effectively ending government efforts to find an alternative for the Brampton facility.
