Overview
- Stellantis president Jeff Hines told the industry committee the company wants a new product for Brampton but will not commit without greater Canada–U.S. trade certainty.
- He said laid‑off workers get priority for 1,500 jobs at the Windsor battery and assembly operations and will receive extended benefits.
- The Jeep Compass EV will be produced in Illinois under a US$13‑billion plan to boost U.S. output that the company links to American tariffs.
- Ottawa cut Stellantis’s tariff‑free import quota by 50 percent and threatened legal action, and MPs voted to scrutinize the confidential subsidy contracts.
- About 3,000 Brampton workers remain on layoff with supplemental pay ending in January, as Unifor rejects Stellantis assurances and parts makers warn of wider job losses.
