- The company plans to return 24 million Canadian dollars, while the government cites potentially much larger claims.
Canada has threatened legal action against Stellantis over the planned sale of its idled Brampton assembly plant. In a report published on Friday, November 13, CNBC said Industry Minister Melanie Joly issued a formal notice of default on Thursday, November 12, giving the automaker 30 days to address alleged breaches of a federal funding agreement.
The dispute follows Stellantis' agreement to sell the idled Ontario facility to Canadian defense manufacturer Roshel. Canada says the sale and the shift of planned Jeep Compass production to Illinois breached commitments linked to public funding.
Funding claims widen exposure
Stellantis Canada CEO Trevor Longley said the company would return 24 million Canadian dollars in federal support. Ottawa says the automaker could owe hundreds of millions of dollars and has warned of further penalties, including repayment of funding with interest.
The disagreement adds a policy and execution risk to Stellantis' North American restructuring. The planned sale could give the Brampton site a new industrial use, but the funding dispute may affect the cost and timing of the transaction.
