Story summary

On November 11, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney called Stellantis' sale of its Brampton assembly plant to defense contractor Roshel "unacceptable," claiming it violates the automaker’s commitments tied to federal funding. Stellantis had received a $1.5 billion joint commitment from the federal and Ontario provincial governments in 2023 to revive an electric vehicle battery facility in Windsor and prevent it from being moved to the U.S. The agreement required Stellantis to maintain operations in Brampton. The sale could lead to the loss of over 9,000 jobs. In response, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly is set to hold a meeting with Stellantis, the union representing its workers, and Ontario government representatives to address the issue. The federal and Ontario governments are now offering an "aggressive package" to Stellantis to keep the Brampton plant open, aiming to save the 2,200 jobs at risk and maintain industrial use.
