Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson is moving ahead with two major mandate items in 2023 — introducing "just transition" legislation and finalizing a major Atlantic electricity project.
Wilkinson told CBC News the government will, he hopes, introduce early this year the long-awaited legislation to help workers in the oil and gas sector move into green energy jobs.
The proposed bill has been a lightning rod for criticism from oil-producing provinces, which worry it would be the nail in the coffin of the oil and gas industry and the thousands who rely on it for work. But Wilkinson describes the bill as an action plan for "sustainable jobs."
"I 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," Wilkinson said.
"I am actually quite worried that there are so many opportunities … we will not have enough workers to fill the jobs."
