US EditionJoly Says Stellantis Getting a Notice of Default Following Production Shift to U.S.
The federal government claims Stellantis breached funding contracts worth over $222 million by shifting Jeep production from Ontario to the U.S., affecting about 3,000 Brampton workers.
- On Thursday, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said Canada will serve Stellantis a notice of default under federal funding contracts for Windsor and Brampton, Ont.
- Stellantis announced in October it was moving planned Jeep Compass production from the Brampton plant, and last month the government initiated a formal dispute-resolution process over the decision.
- Industry Minister Mélanie Joly has said federal records show Stellantis received at least $222 million to re-tool Brampton and Windsor plants, and more than $530 million in recent years for NextStar Energy.
- Roughly 3,000 Brampton workers face no vehicle to build after October, while Stellantis says the plant stays open and FCA Canada Inc. disputes breach claims and seeks solutions.
- The dispute comes as the Government of Canada escalates its fight with Stellantis despite hundreds of millions in Canadian taxpayer incentives in recent years, with Joly linking the shift to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.
