The federal government has to prepare communities that are economically dependent on coal for a future when their products aren't needed if it wants to maintain public support for climate-change action, says a task force on making that transition work.
The Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities is filing its final report today, with 10 broad recommendations.
The task force wants the policies written into legislation to make them difficult to undo and to provide longer-term certainty for the affected workers and communities. Hassan Yussuff, president of the Canadian Labour Congress and one of the co-chairs of the task force, said the body's very existence is proof the government understands it "can't simply phase out the industry without thinking of the workers and the communities."
