Carney calls Stellantis sale a ‘betrayal’ to Canada
Prime Minister Mark Carney is putting the blame on Stellantis, not his industry minister, over the planned sale of its Brampton assembly plant.
Speaking in Montreal in CBC News's clip, Carney calls the company's move unacceptable and says it violates its obligations. He describes it as "a betrayal of the workers, as it is a betrayal of the obligations to Canada."
The remarks follow the announcement that Canadian armored-vehicle manufacturer Roshel will buy the Ontario plant. Beyond the sale itself, the clip adds Carney's response to demands from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre that Industry Minister Mélanie Joly be fired over the handling of Ontario's troubled steel and automotive sectors.
Carney defends Joly's work and argues that the company's treatment of its employees is the issue. He also promises action to protect both workers and public money: "We will fully enforce our rights in protection of those workers and protection of Canadian funds."
CBC's upload drew about 93,000 views since yesterday. In the clip, Carney announces a Thursday meeting of stakeholders to discuss next steps, while repeating his commitment to enforce Canada's rights.
