The loss of 110,000 energy-sector jobs in the West was obviously not so concerning to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his team
It was about three years ago when I proposed to the federal government what we believed to be an environmentally salutary way to get some oil workers back to work.
Enter two young Saskatchewan oilpatch entrepreneurs, brothers Matt and Dan Cugnet, with an idea they wanted me to hear. I was in their hometown of Weyburn at an event when they first presented the idea with their MLA and my former colleague Dustin Duncan. Their plan was to get oilpatch workers working again, cleaning up old wells that were no longer in service. It was a win-win — good for the environment and good for the workers.
The loss of 110,000 energy-sector jobs in the West was obviously not so compelling to him and his team. Quebec jobs were apparently worth the brazenness the former attorney general so deliberately and unflappably testified to before the Commons justice committee. At a time of historic job losses and dimming prospects, the federal government has actually sought to make things worse. Juxtaposed against the existential risk the federal government took to save far fewer jobs at SNC-Lavalin is its apparent determination to pass Bill C-69, which industry has said will make it harder if not impossible to secure approvals for future pipeline proposals.
