I joined Breakfast Television this morning to discuss Stellantis’s agreement to sell the Brampton Assembly Plant to Roshel. We need more details about what the deal means for the plant and for the members of Unifor Local 1285 and their families.
I support the federal and provincial governments in pursuing Stellantis to recover the taxpayer money it received to support automotive production in Brampton. Stellantis must be held accountable for the commitments it made to our workers and our city.
I joined CBC News Network today to talk about Stellantis’s agreement to sell the Brampton Assembly Plant to Roshel. I welcome the opportunity to bring manufacturing back to the site. My first priority is the members of Unifor Local 1285 and their families. Stellantis needs to reach a fair resolution with these workers, and I’m urging Roshel to work with Local 1285 to connect laid-off Brampton autoworkers with good-paying jobs.
This is about accountability across party lines. Over the years, Stellantis and its predecessor, Chrysler, have received taxpayer support over the years from multiple governments in Ottawa and at Queen’s Park.
Stellantis must pay back the public money it received to support automotive production in Brampton. I’ll keep pressing to get that money back for Ontario and Canadian taxpayers.
Honoured to meet with black community leaders and organizations last night at City Hall to discuss how to continue to support and celebrate the dynamic community we have in #Brampton. Grateful for their support, guidance and friendship!
