Industry Minister Melanie Joly said the Canadian government will seek to recover money from General Motors Co. after the company’s decision to lay off 500 workers at a truck plant in Oshawa, Ontario.

It’s the second time in less than six months GM has cut jobs at a Canadian assembly plant, following its October decision to end BrightDrop electric van production in Ingersoll, Ontario.
