Thank you for that.
I believe you are putting your finger on something. It's the need for a concrete plan and a plan to protect workers because we know, as the Canadian Climate Institute stated very clearly, that the sectors that are vulnerable to this transition account for 70% of Canada's goods exports. That means 800,000 jobs are potentially at risk through this just transition. A transition that leaves people out of work and leaves families out of good paying jobs is not a just transition; it's entirely unjust.
We don't want to be transitioning Canadians toward poverty. We must continue to move toward prosperity and make sure that those workers' voices are being heard.
Yes, we all want to be environmentally responsible and good stewards, but I'm hoping that these concerns are being addressed and all is moving forward.
