The Canadian government plans to introduce a 'Just Transition bill' to support workers in the oil and gas sector in transitioning to the green energy industry.
- Feb 01, 2023, 9:00 AM CST
The proposal has received opposition from oil companies and fossil-fuel producing provinces, who believe it will hinder continued oil production. Canada’s Natural Resources Minister, Jonathan Wilkinson, announced in January that the government has plans to introduce new legislation relating to job opportunities in the green energy transition. He: “I’ve said it many times publicly that I do not believe that the challenge we are going to face is that there are workers who are displaced that will not find other good-paying jobs.
At present, Canada’s oil and gas sector provides about 185,000 jobs. With the provincial election coming up in May, Smith is thought to be using the bill to encourage more residents to vote conservative. Smith wrote a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month requesting a meeting in February to come to a joint agreement on the bill.
