Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said the federal government has given the U.S. owner of Stelco five business days to share a plan to maintain jobs at the Hamilton-based steelmaker or face potential legal action. This comes after Cleveland-Cliffs — the Ohio-based company that owns Stelco — said it plans to lay off as many as 500 workers as it pauses some steel production at the plant. The federal government says it violates ‘binding commitments’ and is prepared to seek a court ruling to enforce the agreement under the Investment Canada Act. »»» Subscribe to CBC News to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/1RreYWS For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: https://www.cbc.ca/news Follow CBC News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cbcnews Subscribe to CBC News on Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3leaWsr Subscribe to CBC News on WhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6MSjH9Bb63S9tbQa1Y Download the CBC News app for iOS: http://apple.co/25mpsUz Download the CBC News app for And
