Ingersoll, Ontario

General Motors laid off more than 1,000 employees at its CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario due to the end of BrightDrop electric-vehicle production, with an additional 500 employees affected at the Oshawa Assembly plant. The Conservative Party is calling on the federal government to reduce withholding taxes on severance packages for the affected workers.

General Motors paused production of an electric cargo van at its Ingersoll, Ontario plant, resulting in 1,000 job cuts. The layoffs were attributed to impacts from U.S. President Donald Trump's import tariffs on Canadian goods affecting the auto industry.

General Motors announced in April 2025 that its CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario would temporarily halt production of BrightDrop electric delivery vans, with approximately 650 of its 1,200 workers expected to remain laid off when production resumed at half capacity in November. In October 2025, GM announced it would end BrightDrop production altogether, with affected employees receiving six months' salary and other benefits according to their collective agreement with Unifor Local 88.
