OTTAWA - Canada on Thursday gave US steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs 15 days to reverse planned job cuts at an Ontario steel mill or face sanctions that could include a forced divestiture of the plant.

Ottawa made the demand in a letter from Industry Minister Melanie Joly, who says the plan violates employment commitments Cleveland-Cliffs made when it bought the Stelco plant. The company denies the charge.

Joly said that if Cleveland-Cliffs failed to agree to the government's demands within 15 days, she could go to court to force the sale of the plant and also impose a daily fine of C$10 000. The letter was released to the media.
