QUESTION PERIOD — Ministry of Environment and Climate Change
Environmental Transition Action Plan
March 3, 2022
Hon. Hassan Yussuff
Welcome, minister, and thank you for being here.
As you know, to meet our net-zero objectives by 2050, it will require some transition measures across the country. Communities are deeply impacted. When can workers in communities expect a just transition legislation tabled by your government?
Hon. Steven Guilbeault, P.C., M.P., Minister of Environment and Climate Change

Thank you, senator. I salute the work that you did on coal, to work with communities and workers as we transition away from coal.
As you know, this is not part of my mandate letter, but it is part of many of my cabinet colleagues’ mandate letters. Even though it’s not in my mandate letter, I have engaged with them on that, and I think you will see significant progress on that in the coming months.
