Madam Speaker, I understand what is going on in committee. However, I would like to come back to the title of the bill. I imagine that it could perhaps be amended in committee if the work were to be done. I would like to point out that even the Paris Agreement talks about a just transition, and that is the term that is used at all levels, internationally. I would to like to come back to the substance of the bill. Why does this bill not include the internationally recognized term “just transition” in its title?

Madam Speaker, regarding the 1% of Canadian oil and gas companies that have 500 or more employees, and the fact that it is traditional oil and gas pipeline and oil sands companies in Alberta that are currently leading the creation of new union jobs in Canada, what does she have to say to all of them when the aim of the just transition, just like the Bloc member rightly pointed out the NDP-Liberals are trying to hide, is to shut down oil and gas in Canada as quickly as possible? What does she say to all the union workers in Canadian oil and gas companies in Alberta, where new jobs are being created at the highest rate of any company or sector in any place in the country, who are also going to lose all their jobs immediately because of the just transition agenda?
