OTTAWA — Members of Parliament are expected to vote for up to 15 hours in a row Thursday and Friday on more than 200 Conservative amendments to the government's sustainable jobs bill.
Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says the bill ensures government accountability and engagement with the people who will be most affected as the world shifts away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy sources. Conservative critic Shannon Stubbs, however, calls it a blueprint for what she deems the Liberals'"wide-scale radical economic restructuring."
During that committee, the Conservatives proposed 19,600 amendments to the 18-page bill. That number decreased to 200 once the bill left committee and headed back to the House of Commons. MacKinnon said the Conservatives were getting a"time out," but the time has come for the bill to move forward. “Because the fact is that the 'just transition' is a global, top-down, socialist agenda to central plan a forced economic — not only energy — transition away from the sectors and businesses that underpin all of Canada's economy: energy, agriculture, construction, transportation and manufacturing," she said.
