Story summary

In November 2026, Stellantis announced plans to sell its Brampton assembly plant in Ontario to a defense contractor, Roshel, which Prime Minister Mark Carney and Industry Minister Mélanie Joly argued violates the automaker’s commitments tied to federal funding. Stellantis originally received a $1.5 billion joint commitment from the federal and Ontario provincial governments in 2023 to prevent the Windsor battery facility from moving to the U.S. and to support the Brampton plant. The plant closure affects more than 9,000 workers and has led to a sharp decline in auto parts manufacturing, with employment falling 8.7% year-over-year, resulting in the loss of 6,200 jobs. Joly and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are now working on an "aggressive package" to keep the Brampton plant open and meet with Stellantis, Unifor, and Ontario government representatives to discuss alternative solutions.
