Ottawa must scrap polarizing term ‘just transition’: Alberta environment minister

Alberta’s environment minister says Ottawa must stop using the term “just transition” because she believes it is shorthand for phasing out Canada’s oil and gas industry.

“The problem with the just transition, it’s a polarizing term,” Sonya Savage said. “And they’ve been using it.”

Savage told CBC’s Rosemary Barton Live on Sunday that the Alberta government and Ottawa agree on many things, including reducing emissions from the oil and gas sector. But she said while the federal Liberals have “walked away” from using the “divisive term,” it’s still being used on Natural Resources Canada’s website.

The LPC lies – they will shutdown the oil and gas industry.
