This is no small task and is a transformative adjustment for the Canadian economy that must strike a balance between combatting climate change and enduring the continuation of good, middle-class jobs to ensure no one gets left behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>We are encouraged by the\u00a0Government of Canada\u2019s introduction of the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan which includes $9.1 billion in investments, including an\u00a0additional funding of $400 million for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) charging stations.\u00a0The Plan included moving forward on the Atlantic Loop \u2013 a regional power grid that will help to transform Canada\u2019s energy landscape and put Canadians to work, and commitments to expanding new green technologies such as carbon capture, utilization and storage. While today\u2019s announcement is a step forwards to help achieve Canada\u2019s net-zero objectives, it remains clear that a team Canada approach is needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>The Government of Canada needs to ensure a move to net-zero is just for all stakeholders \u2013 including Canada\u2019s skilled trades workers.
