About the Sustainable Jobs Blueprint Series The Pembina Institute and the Canadian Labour Congress have partnered to develop a Sustainable Jobs Blueprint, which identifies policy and investment recommendations to support the Canadian workforce in the transition to a net-zero economy. [...] This included both the release of the Sustainable Jobs Plan in February 2023 and the introduction of Bill C-50, an Act respecting accountability, transparency and engagement to support the creation of sustainable jobs for workers and economic growth in a net-zero economy (herein referred to as the Sustainable Jobs Act) in June 2023. [...] Strengthening the Act Add additional guiding principles to the preamble of the Act The preamble of the proposed Sustainable Jobs Act includes a set of guiding principles that reflect the notions of social dialogue, decent work, advancing equity, and international cooperation, all of which are critical to the success of sustainable jobs efforts. [...] Setting the Partnership Council up for success The proposed Act establishes a Sustainable Jobs Partnership Council to provide independent advice to the lead Minister and other specified Ministers on measures to foster the creation of sustainable jobs and to support workers, communities and regions in the shift to a net-zero economy. [...] Ensure all members are committed to advancing a net-zero transition and supporting workers Given the mandate of the Partnership Council to engage Canadians and provide advice to government, it is essential that members involved in the dialogue are supportive of the forward momentum needed to transform industries and the economy to respond to the climate crisis.
