As Bill C-50, The Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act, goes to third reading in the House of Commons, it is important to keep up the pressure on our elected representatives. We need you to keep writing to your MP, encouraging them to support the bill. Your voice counts! We have the opportunity to make sure that workers have a Just Transition to the new low-carbon economy. We need to make sure there are good, meaningful jobs for workers to go to, with support programs in place to assist everyone in getting there. Workers must be at the table to develop the plans and programs that are required to meet their needs in all sectors and all our communities. To make that a reality, we need a majority of MPs to support Bill C-50, the Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act.
Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time. Between severe wildfires and flooding, heat waves and drought, food insecurity, melting sea ice and permafrost, and air and water pollution, communities right across the country are experiencing the effects of climate change. Not everyone is affected equally. The climate crisis threatens to make existing inequities worse. But it is not too late to act. We can all take actions in our households, workplaces, and communities to foster sustainability. And, when we work together, we can pressure our elected officials, employers, and businesses to step up to tackle the climate crisis.

The climate crisis is affecting everyone. That includes workers in their jobs and workplaces. As workers, we have a birds eye view of what is happening to our communities. We need to share our perspective, and our solutions to mitigate the impact of climate change.
