Right, and automation is a big issue because we've seen a 17% loss up to 2019. We're expecting more losses, and as companies retool, we're looking to automation.
I want to bring this into focus. I've lived through unjust transitions. I was on one of the last shifts underground in Elliot Lake before we lost 4,000 uranium jobs, and I've never seen a good transition. As I've said, it's U-Hauls leaving in the middle of the night. It's economic disaster usually.
What I find really flummoxing about the situation in the west is that we have such an opportunity to make the investments now to make change. I'm looking at the report from last December from Calgary Economic Development and Global Edmonton. It says there's a $61-billion opportunity for Alberta and 171,000 clean-tech jobs. However, that will necessitate major changes, first of all, in what the province is actually investing in, a major increase, and what would it mean at the federal level, so that instead of having the usual heartbreak stories of shutdowns and people having to leave, we're actually starting this transition now? I don't see that federal presence in a big enough way. What do we need to do to make this happen?
