Canada has committed to reach net zero by 2050 - meaning any climate-warming emissions that cannot be eliminated will be removed from the atmosphere, such as by planting trees or using technology to capture and store the gases. Fong said the rise of clean energy will bring more jobs than will be lost but many oil and gas workers, mostly in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador provinces, could be laid off, like manual workers were in the 1990s. As Canada’s manufacturing sector declined, new jobs were created but they were in different locations and required different skills, said the report, entitled “Don’t Let History Repeat”.
