Alberta has no intention of following a federal plan to transition workers out of the energy sector, Premier Danielle Smith said Saturday.
The premier, on her Saturday morning radio show, said it’s still unclear what the Liberal government is proposing with “just transition” legislation aimed at helping workers find new jobs in a low-carbon economy.
“We are not going to be shutting down our oil and natural gas industry. We are not going to be transitioning our workers, who are in good, high-paying meaningful, important jobs, into installing solar panels, which is the idiocy (federal Green Party Leader) Elizabeth May was first proposing when this kind of thing came out,” Smith told listeners.
