A proposed buyer for Stellantis's idled Brampton assembly plant is not enough to settle the company's obligations to workers, Prime Minister Mark Carney says in a CBC News clip from Dublin.
Asked on November 12 to explain his earlier description of the planned sale as a "betrayal," Carney points to commitments he says remain unfulfilled. "The betrayal is not fulfilling all the obligations for all of the workers," he says.
According to CBC, the Ontario plant is slated for sale to armoured vehicle maker Roshel. Carney's answer distinguishes finding a use for the site from meeting the full commitments he says Stellantis made, including those attached to a battery agreement with the government.
"A partial solution is a step, it is not a global solution," he says, adding that the government will pursue the matter.
The clarification comes as CBC's follow-up coverage reports mounting federal pressure on the automaker. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says the government has "levers" to hold Stellantis accountable and will not hesitate to use them. In a separate Power & Politics interview, Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles calls for the company to repay public money.
