Mr. Chair, even before the pandemic knocked the bottom out of the oil markets, workers in Alberta and other parts of the oil patch were hurting, and the long-term future looks just as difficult. Those workers need good long-term jobs now.
Will the Deputy Prime Minister commit today to direct funds towards diversifying the Alberta economy to give workers the support they deserve? Can the Deputy Prime Minister guarantee that the support goes to workers and not to executive bonuses and stock buybacks?
