The federal government has introduced its “just transition” legislation aimed at moving oil sector workers into green energy jobs in every region of Canada as the Liberals look to move the country toward national net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson introduced Bill C-50, or the “Sustainable Jobs Act,” in the House of Commons on June 15.
