If necessary, the Government of Canada should stand ready to invoke the 1977 Transit Pipelines Treaty to save it. Line 5 is a piece in a much larger puzzle, and we to have look at the whole picture. We need a bilateral, US-Canadian energy policy, one that includes workers,\u201d said Sean Strickland, Executive Director, Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions. \u201cRecently, President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau met, and laid out a Roadmap for a Renewed U.S.-Canada Partnership. The Road Map is a great working document, and now we need to operationalize it to help sustain our existing energy industry and transition the industry \u2013 and workers \u2013 to a greener future. A key deliverable of the Road Map needs to be a bilateral US-Canada energy policy that addresses our cross-border energy needs and secures both the US and Canada\u2019s energy future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Executive Director Strickland laid out key components of what a bilateral Canada-US energy policy would look like to the Committee which includes the establishment of a Task Force to examine the Future of Energy Jobs.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cLine 5 is crucial to our economy, and an issue we will continue to advocate for. Line 5 needs to be part of a long-term vision that focuses on building the United States and Canada\u2019s energy future so we aren\u2019t faced with the same hurdles; fighting to save projects or pipelines time and again. This will create more certainty for the economy, for industry and for workers,\u201d concluded Strickland.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions Executive Director, Sean Strickland, addressed the House of Commons Special Committee on the Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States to discuss the potential cancellation of the easement on Enbridge\u2019s Line 5. \u201cLine 5 needs to continue running, uninterrupted, until the Great Lakes Tunnel project \u2013 which will make [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":127,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 -
