“The industry minister promised the Stellantis plant would reopen or Canadians would get their money back. Neither happened, and 1,800 workers lost their jobs. I want the minister to take real action to protect these jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, almost a year ago the industry minister stood in the House and proclaimed that the Stellantis plant would reopen or she would get Canadians’ money back. Neither one turned out to be true, because the Liberals are all talk and no action. It is the same thing when they say they are going to double housing or that it is the most affordable in a decade. Neither one is true. These failures, though, have real consequences. Eighteen hundred Stellantis workers have lost their jobs. Many have actually lost their homes. When will the Liberal minister move from talk to actual action to protect these jobs?”

“The minister promised to protect 1,800 Stellantis jobs or get the public money back. She did neither, and now those workers have no support left and are losing their homes. Why is she still a minister?”

“Mr. Speaker, those are literally the same out-of-touch talking points that she used a year ago, saying, “We are going to do something.” Those 1,800 jobs are gone. Those 1,800 workers had a top-up, and then they went on EI; now they are getting nothing. There is a lady in my riding, and both she and her husband worked at Stellantis. They have now lost their home because of this. The minister said she would get the money back or protect the jobs. She has done neither one. Why is she still minister?”
