flag Conservatives demand tax relief on GM severance payments for Ontario workers amid plant closures and stalled trade talks.

flag Conservatives are urging the federal government to exempt severance payments for over 1,500 laid-off GM workers in Ontario from withholding taxes, arguing that high taxes on lump-sum payments worsen financial hardship. flag The call comes after GM ended electric-vehicle production at the Ingersoll plant and cut shifts at Oshawa, affecting up to 1,000 workers. flag The party criticized the government’s delayed response as tax season begins, while Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled a new auto strategy with stricter emissions rules, EV rebates, and limited China EV imports. flag Conservatives dismissed the plan as ineffective without a U.S. trade deal and claimed it favors American EVs. flag Talks continue to renew NAFTA, with Carney aiming to eliminate tariffs despite U.S. policy challenges.
