We've just learned that Chrysler Canada has stopped production at its assembly plants here today after some suppliers did not deliver parts.

The move by suppliers came because of concerns about payments in view of the parent company filing for bankruptcy court protection in the U.S. yesterday.

A Chrysler Canada spokesperson emphasized that the company has not filed for protection from creditors here and has no intention of doing so. The spokesperson could not comment on when the company expects to resume output at the Canadian plants, which produce thousands of minivans and cars weekly.

Chrysler employs about 8,000 workers at assembly plants in Windsor and Brampton.
