Prime Minister Mark Carney has strongly criticized Stellantis over its decision to sell the Brampton plant, calling the move completely unacceptable and a violation of the company's commitments.
Carney defended Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, saying the controversy does not reflect on the minister's efforts but rather highlights the company's unfair treatment of its workers.
The Prime Minister assured that the government would use all available legal powers to protect Canadian workers' interests and safeguard public funds.
Carney also announced that an important meeting involving all stakeholders will be held this Thursday to discuss the issue.
Meanwhile, automaker Stellantis has offered to return the funding it received from the federal government. However, citing the terms of its agreement, the company said it could not disclose how much money it might repay.
