Thank you very much to our witnesses.
We are here and focused on a study about Canada's 2030 GHG reduction targets, whether we’re going to hit them, and if we’re not, how to hit them better. It feels like we’re almost debating whether we should be in climate action, which is not actually the intent of the study.
There are leaders and laggards in any industry. Canada is trying to be a leader in a lot of ways, including in climate competitiveness. We can’t move forward collectively all together if it’s an “us versus them”, and there’s a lot of talk... You know, we need a just transition to a low-carbon economy, and I’m wondering, Miss Doran, if you could speak a bit to the thinking around retooling microcredentials and the ability for workers who are in the fossil fuel sector today to still be able to play in this, to have thriving careers and take care of their families in this transition that we are moving towards.
We know there will be a decline overall in jobs in the fossil fuel sector by 2050, but there will be almost a doubling of jobs in the clean energy sector. Please give me some thoughts on that.
