A war of words between Alberta and Ottawa: What does 'just transition' actually mean?

A yet-to-be-tabled bill that Canada's energy minister says will help support workers seeking to make a transition to new jobs in a lower-carbon future has created a war of words between Ottawa and Alberta. But what does a 'just transition' actually mean? The federal minister says there is little disagreement between Ottawa and Alberta, with the energy transition being a decades-long process where oil and gas still have a place. "The word transition itself means coming to an end, moving on, being replaced, and in this case, it means your job. "We don't need to put it all in the framework of some big legislation called the 'just transition.'"
