Over 2.7 million Canadian workers will face “significant” job disruptions in sectors that will be affected by the future federal climate change programs, says a memo previously sent to Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson.
“The transition to a low carbon economy will have an uneven impact across sectors, occupations and regions and create significant labour market disruptions,” reads the federal briefing note titled “Key Messages On Just Transition” and sent to the minister on June 1, 2022. The document was obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
