The Liberal government is aiming to move forward early this year with its “just transition” legislation intended to help workers in Canada’s oil and gas sector to move into green energy jobs, according to Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson.
“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 told CBC News. “I am actually quite worried that there are so many opportunities … we will not have enough workers to fill the jobs.”
