General Motors says it will spend $63 million to upgrade stamping operations at its assembly plant in Oshawa, Ont.

The news comes after the company ended the third shift at the plant at the end of January, resulting in about 500 direct layoffs from GM plus the loss of hundreds of other positions at suppliers that depended on the shift.
