Proposed amendments to Bill C-50: The Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act
Bill C-50 aims to create sustainable jobs and advance a net-zero economy in Canada. While this legislation alone will not bring about an equitable low-carbon economy, it proposes a useful governance and accountability framework to build on. However, gaps in the legislation reduce its potential impact and efficacy. The following proposed amendments to Bill C-50 seek to improve the bill's accountability, inclusivity, and integration with Canada's climate policies.
