Union representing energy workers backs stronger emissions cuts as long as there s a transition plan cbc.ca 1 hour ago Inayat Singh, Alice Hopton © Jason Franson/The Canadian Press Without a transition plan, advocates say oil and gas workers fill face involuntary layoffs and a lack of options for retraining. A union representing oil and gas workers says they don t object to Canada s latest emissions targets in fact, they think the country could aim for even more ambitious ones. But only if there s a plan for a just transition that won t leave workers behind. Unifor was among the many groups with eyes on Ottawa as Canada announced new climate targets at U.S. President Joe Biden s climate summit last week. The new targets that emerged would see Canada reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.
