Please follow up with any additional information.
The David Suzuki Foundation report on zero-emissions electricity, which I mentioned earlier, estimated the number of jobs that would be created by pursuing a renewable electricity pathway:
There would be...1.5 million person-years of direct employment resulting from the construction, operation and maintenance of new wind, solar and transmission lines alone between 2025 and 2050, growing to support over 75,000 full-time jobs each year. This...does not include the additional jobs that could be created if wind turbines and solar panels were manufactured in Canada....
If the renewable industry had high levels of confidence that wind, solar and storage were going to be built out at the scale envisioned in these pathways, is it likely that more companies would find it worthwhile locating some of their manufacturing here in Canada?
