Petition to the House of Commons
- Canadians are struggling in an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis, and this bill will increase the cost of living in urban and rural Canada;
- Bill C-50 will kill 170,000 direct Canadian jobs, displace 450,000 direct and indirect jobs, and cause major disruptions to 2.7 million jobs across all provinces in energy, manufacturing, construction, transportation, and agriculture sectors;
- The energy sector is the top private sector investor in clean technology, provides 10% of Canada’s GDP, and annually contributes an average of $26 billion in revenues to all levels of government, including $48 billion in 2022;
- Canadian energy and national security is increasingly threatened by the NDP-Liberals’ reckless anti-energy agenda to phase out oil and gas;
- This legislation will disproportionately impact remote, rural, Indigenous, and resource-based communities, provinces and regions, blue-collar and lower-income workers, and many Indigenous Canadians and visible minorities, who will face higher job disruptions and have more challenges finding new opportunities; and
- The NDP-Liberal anti-energy Just Transition scheme has no plan to replace lost jobs, economic and technological growth, government revenue, or affordable energy.
