\u0027Will you listen to the oil and gas producing provinces, and put this ridiculous notion of \u0027just transition\u0027 where it belongs, in the garbage bin\u0027
Senate Opposition Leader Donald Neil Plett asked O’Regan to elaborate on the plans the government has made with provinces — specifically Alberta and Saskatchewan.
O’Regan explained that his pedigree of being a thrice-elected MP from an oil and gas producing province makes him “keenly aware” of both the challenges and prosperity of Canada’s energy industry. “I can tell you quite proudly in my home province that they’ve gotten the message, and that we are moving forward and are determined to lower emissions where we can find them, as are many, many oil and gas workers who I knew in the industry who know which way the puck is going, and are determined to skate to it.”
“This legislation will help to ensure that every region of Canada and every Canadian worker is at the centre of every policy and decision the Government makes,” said ministry spokesperson Keean Nembhard, referring to a 2019 government promise to introduce legislation meant to “support the future and livelihoods of workers” as Canada shifts to a low-carbon economy.Article content
