Ottawa is restricting the number of tariff-free vehicles that Stellantis and General Motors can bring in from the United States to sell in Canada, after the automakers announced plans this month to cut back assembly-line work at Ontario factories.

Stellantis and GM will no longer be eligible to get the full break on Canadian counter-tariff duties on American-made vehicles, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said in a late night press release on Oct. 23.
