Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act Report stage of Bill C-50.

Conservatives propose numerous amendments, fearing significant job losses in traditional energy sectors and arguing it infringes on provincial jurisdiction. Liberals and NDP support the bill as a necessary step for sustainable jobs and transition, while the Bloc raises concerns about Quebec's jurisdiction. Greens call it a missed opportunity but support action. 38600 words, 11 hours in 4 segments: 1 2 3 4.
