To talk about the anxiety that energy workers and oil and gas workers in this country feel is very real. They are my constituents. This is an oil and gas producing province, Canada's third. I know the anxieties that they're feeling, that fuelled me as minister of natural resources. The Prime Minister specifically asked me to be involved in just transition.
I'm not a big fan of the phrase, but in my role as Minister of Labour, I have a great deal of passion and excitement, because we need energy workers at their best. They're the ones who are going to build up renewables and reduce emissions. They're the only ones who know how to do it, but I want to lessen their anxiety. I want them to know how badly we need them to do the massive things we need to do in this country.
