Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was in Brampton, Ont. on Tuesday, where he demanded that Industry Minister Mélanie Joly resign after Stellantis agreed to sell its idled assembly plant. "This liberal industry minister, just like (François-Philippe) Champagne before her and the entire Liberal government, is costing Canadians money and jobs and driving our economy into the ditch. All we got from the minister yesterday was more theatre. She's been threatening lawsuits for years. She's done nothing," Poilievre said. Poilievre continued, saying, "That is why today the official opposition is calling for the Liberal prime minister to fire his failed, costly, job-killing liberal industry minister. We expect Canadians also to get the billions of tax dollars back that the Liberals handed over to this multinational corporation."
