A new poll suggests that Canadians are mostly unaware of the Trudeau government’s plan for a “just transition,” which entails moving workers out of the oil and gas sector and into jobs it deems more sustainable.

The Postmedia-Léger poll says that 84 percent of people surveyed have no idea what the “just transition” entails.
