Thank you for that question.
The energy transition is happening whether or not we bury our heads in the sand and listen to oil and gas companies. Our oil and gas will never be the last barrel standing. It's among the most carbon intensive and expensive. That transition is happening. The best thing we can do to support communities and workers is to be honest with them about what's going on and put in place plans, supports and a just transition strategy that the government commits to and that really makes sure that no one is left behind.
We're at a turning point where we can do what we did, for example, with the collapse of the cod industry, pretend it's not happening and not help those workers out, or we can put in place a plan today that brings all of those communities and workers alongside with us. You've heard on this panel from leaders like Gil McGowan from the Alberta Federation of Labour, who had really great suggestions on exactly how those just transition mechanisms need to be built out alongside this oil and gas emissions cap.
