Thank you, Mr. Desjarlais, and thank you, Mr. Chair.
When the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives talks about a just transition, it talks about including “compensation, retraining and career support, job transfers and pension bridging for affected workers.” Similarly, the task force on just transition for Canadian coal power workers, in their recommendations—which this audit noted have not been completed—talks about protecting pensions and securing “income support, education and skills building, re-employment and mobility.”
My question is for Mr. Hannaford.
If you're in the midst of working on the legislation, can you confirm that these key items recommended by both a third party and a really critical task force will be part of the prosperous or just transition legislation?
