Canada is starting a dispute resolution process against Stellantis after the automaker said last month that it’s moving jobs to the U.S.

Joly said Stellantis moving production of the Jeep Compass from Brampton, Ont., to Illinois is a violation of a contract.

"Today, before the close of business, the government will take the next step under the contracts to recover Canadian taxpayers’ money,” Joly said.
