Despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promising to cap oil and gas sector emissions to reach net zero by 2050, his federal labour minister Seamus O’Regan is now saying that Canada has a major shortage of workers in the oil and gas industry.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, O’Regan made the remarks during a House of Commons natural resources committee meeting in response to a report warning that the Trudeau government’s emissions plan would cost the country 170,000 jobs.
“We are not transitioning jobs out of the sector,” O’Regan said. “To be honest with you, and this certainly has been my focus since I’ve taken on this new role as labour minister, our biggest problem is we don’t have enough workers.”
