Madam Speaker, creating jobs in the green and clean-tech industries is a multi-year initiative. It will not immediately replace all of the hundreds of thousands of jobs that have been lost in Alberta, nor the jobs that will be lost in the future from the implementation of carbon pricing and higher EI and CPP rates.
We have heard that the infrastructure spending will work out to less than $20 million per riding.
What is the member's government really going to do immediately to help those who have lost their jobs?
