Automotive Industry

Question period focused on the Stellantis plant in Brampton, where about 1,800 workers have lost their jobs. Kyle Seeback, a Conservative, said the industry minister promised a year ago that the plant would reopen or public money would be returned, and that neither happened; he said former workers have run out of income support and some are losing their homes, and asked what action the government would take. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly pointed to new collective agreements at GM and Ford, said the government wants Stellantis back at the bargaining table and a new car model built in Brampton, and said the government would take its money back if the company does not build there. She also argued the Conservatives’ past auto strategy left out auto parts makers and major plants in Ontario.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
