The legislation is aimed at addressing Canada\u2019s transition to a carbon neutral economy, legislation Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions has been anticipating and advocating for.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cCanada\u2019s Building Trades Unions welcome Bill C-50 tabled today in the House of Commons. We have, and will continue to work closely with the Government on this important legislation because workers must be at the forefront of the transition to net-zero, one of the greatest economic transformations of our time. One needs to only look back to the passing of the Canada-US free trade agreement in 1987 as an example of the devasting impacts major policy initiatives can have on workers. Lack of meaningful consultation resulted in a large decline of the workforce, loss of good jobs with many workers never returning to the same quality of job that had been lost. That is why Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions are pleased that this Government is conducting meaningful consultation with labour on the transition to net-zero, through the Sustainable Partnership Council included in today\u2019s legislation, to ensure workers are front and centre during this transition,\u201d stated Sean Strickland, Executive Director of Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cCanada is executing its plan to become the clean energy and technology supplier of choice in a net-zero world. With this legislation, the federal government is taking yet another step forward to ensure that Canada\u2019s workers have the skills and support necessary to seize this generational opportunity,\u201d stated Minister of Natural Resources, Jonathan Wilkinson. <em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>The legislation included several key aspects including:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creating a Sustainable Jobs Partnership Council to provide the Government, through a process of ongoing social dialogue and engagement, with independent advice on the most effective measures to encourage sustainable job creation and to support workers and communities in the transition to a low-carbon economy;<\/li>\n\n<li>Publishing a Sustainable Jobs Action Plan every five years, beginning in 2025, to put in place measures to invest in the net-zero emissions economy and skills of the future; and,<\/li>\n\n<li>Establishing a Sustainable Jobs Secretariat to enable policy and program coherence across federal entities on the Government\u2019s sustainable jobs approach,\u00a0 and support the Partnership Council.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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, the Government of Canada tabled Bill C-50 \u201cAn Act respecting accountability, transparency and engagement to support the creation of sustainable jobs for workers and economic growth in a net-zero economy\u201d.
