Ottawa is serving Stellantis with a notice of default on its federal contracts as the automaker proceeds with plans to relocate a portion of its production to the United States, despite receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in Canadian funding.

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly told a parliamentary committee on Dec. 4 that the automaker’s production shift breaches government contracts tied to manufacturing both in Windsor and Brampton, Ont.
