This is a historic opportunity for all provinces. Whether it's Alberta or [Technical difficulty] that workers can make the transition. On the one hand, the Unifor union, which is one of our members and represents workers in the oil and gas sector, wants to prevent its members from becoming unemployed. On the other hand, transportation electrification companies are unable to find qualified workers. The federal and provincial governments will need to be willing to provide retraining for existing workers. If not, we risk missing an extremely important historic opportunity. The transition is happening all over the world and it must not exclude workers or entire sections or regions of Canada. Alberta and Saskatchewan are two perfect examples.
The work that my parents used to do no longer exists today because it has been moved to Mexico. If all we do is create jobs outside the country while we decrease greenhouse gas emissions, it is not a win-win situation for our children and grandchildren. We want to fight climate change and air pollution while creating quality jobs across Canada. Transportation electrification can help, including research, extraction, sales, maintenance and infrastructure.
