The federal government has provided Stellantis with over $220 million to upgrade its Ontario plants, despite the automaker’s recent decision to shift some production to the U.S., impacting about 3,000 Brampton employees. The total funding, part of a 2022 agreement for up to $529 million, included nearly $118 million for the 2025 fiscal year. Officials, outraged by the move after such investments, are initiating a dispute resolution process to recover some funds tied to job guarantees. Stellantis has stated it is working with government partners for a sustainable future in Canadian automotive manufacturing.
