Story summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney called Stellantis' plan to sell its Brampton, Ontario, auto plant to defence contractor Roshel "unacceptable," saying it violates the automaker’s commitments tied to federal funding. The sale, announced in September, involves a 2,000-worker plant that had been idle since 2023. Despite Carney's assertions, CBC reported that he was aware of "some aspects" of the deal before it was publicly announced. Industry Minister Melanie Joly was also reportedly involved in the negotiations, contradicting the government’s initial stance that the deal breached Stellantis's obligations. Stellantis contends it has offered to return government support if it closes the plant before 2035 under certain conditions, suggesting a complex legal and political landscape.

Achim Hurrelmann, co-director of the Centre for European Studies at Carleton University, said the phrasing was "a bit of a distraction from the policy work leading up to the summit — mainly because the EU, frankly, hadn't really done its homework in defining what this status would mean, and how it could be integrated into EU law."
