Varcoe: Oilpatch labour crunch is the immediate jobs issue, say industry leaders yyc yycbiz
A report last week from industry group Enserva projected Canadian oil and gas drillingfrom 2022 levels, creating at least 4,000 additional jobs in the country’s oilfield services sector.
In Western Canada, several major energy projects are moving ahead, including work on the Coastal GasLink pipeline, the Trans Mountain expansion, and the Site C dam in British Columbia, which employed 5,700 workers in April. The legislation will create a Sustainable Jobs Partnership Council, put out five-year plans on the actions it’s taking, and establish a Sustainable Jobs Secretariat, where employers and employees can access information on federal programs.
The new bill will likely come up Monday when Premier Danielle Smith and Alberta Energy Minister Brian Jean sit down for talks with Wilkinson and federal Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc in Calgary.Postmedia
