Ottawa’s move to impose tariffs on some vehicles imported by General Motors and Stellantis will harm Canada’s manufacturing sector and drive off investments, the Detroit Three automakers say.
The government of Canada on Thursday said it will reduce the number of vehicles the carmakers can import tariff-free, in response to production shifts by the two automakers that could cost thousands of jobs in Ontario. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said on social media the tariffs are a “clear consequence” of the “deeply disappointing” shifts by Stellantis and GM.
