Canadian Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Mélanie Joly stated that the decision made by automotive company Stellantis did not change its commitments to workers at its Brampton plant in Ontario.

In a statement shared on her social media account, Joly noted that more than 2,000 workers and their families were facing uncertainty, emphasizing that employees expected clear answers and the fulfillment of the promises made to them.

Stating that the parties needed to return to the negotiating table, Joly announced that she had contacted representatives of the Unifor union, Stellantis, the Ontario government and the Brampton plant to arrange a meeting this week.

Joly said she expected all parties attending the meeting to be prepared to work toward the shared goal of protecting well-paying jobs for workers in Brampton.

Emphasizing their determination to protect and expand Canada's automotive industry across the country, Joly stated that giving up the fight for automotive workers in Brampton was not an option.
