Media Advisory - Minister McKenna to announce members of Canada's Just Transition Task Force


OTTAWA, April 24, 2018 /CNW/ - Media representatives are advised that the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, will announce the members of Canada's Just Transition Task Force, at the group's inaugural meeting. She will be joined by the Task Force's co-chairs: Hassan Yussuff, of the Canadian Labour Congress, and Lois Corbett, of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick.

The phase-out of traditional coal power and the shift to cleaner energy sources reduce pollution. This transition is the right thing to do for our health, our economy, and the environment. Canada's Just Transition Task Force will advise the federal government on how to ensure workers and communities affected by Canada's coal-power phase-out have the support they need to succeed in the transition to a clean-growth economy.
