The federal industry minister is calling for a review of Ottawa's business relationship with Amazon after the company said it will close all seven of its warehouses in Quebec. They'll have me fighting to make sure that this is not going to go unanswered in Canada, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne said.

Global News reported that New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh said of the closures: “What is happening in Quebec is very clearly Amazon trying to union-bust. These are workers that were trying to unionize, and Amazon is shutting down operations in the complete region, just to stop them from demanding fairness."

Canada’s industry minister said Amazon.com Inc.’s decision to shut down all warehouses in Quebec and cut close to 2,000 jobs would prompt the government to examine its current deals with the e-commerce and technology company.

Amazon on Wednesday said it is exiting its operations in the Canadian province of Quebec, leading to the loss of about 1,700 full-time jobs.

Canada has warned Amazon.com that it is reviewing business ties with the company’s cloud-computing unit following Amazon’s decision to shut down its warehouses in Quebec, leading to the layoff of 1,700 workers.

Amazon Canada says it will close all seven of its Quebec warehouses and lay off staff over the next two months.
