Windsor, Ont. -

The man accused in the explosion at the Windsor Assembly Plant has been granted bail.

James Harris faces three charges, including disregard for human life.

A publication ban is in place preventing CTV News from sharing details heard in court, including the reasons the accused was granted bail.

Unrelated, operations at the Windsor Assembly Plant will be down the week of Nov. 29.

The minivan plant has been idled a number of times this year for an extended period, due to a global shortage of microchips which has affected the entire auto industry.

Here are the conditions of Harris's bail, according to Provincial Court staff:

“The conditions of his release include that Harris must live with his mother on a $2,000 surety, and can't leave her home overnight without her permission. He's also forbidden from using social media except under his mother's supervision. Harris cannot be within 25 metres of the Stellantis plant, possess any weapons or attend COVID-19 rallies. There's also a list of individuals that Harris is forbidden from communicating with.”
