![]() In addition, existing programs such as the Canada Workers Benefit and Employment Insurance (EI) provide income supports for low-income individuals with labour market attachment or those with insurable employment. At the federal level, the Government of Canada already has programs with similar features to a basic income, such as the Canada Child Benefit for families with children, the Old Age Security program and the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors. Income security is a shared jurisdiction across different levels of government. These technologies will help grow our economy and support Canada in its efforts to meet environmental targets, delivering clean and reliable energy and creating sustainable jobs for Albertans. In April of this year, the Government of Canada announced a combined investment of more than $7.5 million to four organizations in Alberta that are in the process of advancing emerging clean technologies. In Alberta, for example, such opportunities are expected to involve hydrogen derived from natural gas, carbon capture and storage (CCUS), critical minerals, renewable forms of energy and biofuels.Īlberta is playing a critical role in Canada’s current and future energy economy, including the building of a prosperous net-zero future. Each province is unique and the approaches to a clean energy transition will be different across the country, using the abundance of each region’s resources, technology, talent, and experience. The Government of Canada also recognizes that the key to advancing our country’s energy transition to a low-carbon economy is a skilled and well-trained energy workforce. LNG Canada, which will begin exporting to Asian markets in 2025, and other proposed Canadian LNG projects, aim to develop the world’s lowest emitting facilities and establish reliable, direct access to global markets to capture higher value for Canadian natural gas, support allies’ energy security, and advance the global energy transition. ![]() These efforts range from small increases to the capacity of existing pipelines by adding pumping or compression power, to the building of major new projects approved by the Government of Canada, such as the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, the Enbridge Line 3 replacement project, and TC Energy’s expansion of its Nova Gas Transmission Limited (NGTL) system of natural gas pipelines.įurther efforts to increase Canada’s export capacity are also being explored, including investments in new natural gas pipeline projects to enable LNG exports from Canada’s West and East coasts. In the near-term, the Canadian energy industry is advancing projects to increase the capacity of Canada’s oil and natural gas pipelines to ensure access to export markets, which will also help Canadian producers receive a fair market price for their products. Their use is expected to evolve as the energy transition continues – including the transportation of hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Pipelines are currently the safest and most efficient way to transport crude oil and natural gas. Such investments are necessary to ensure the reliability of Canada’s energy system, including meeting current oil and natural gas demand and the transportation of various cleaner, low carbon fuels. A key part of supporting this transition is continued investment in new and existing energy infrastructure, including pipelines. Therefore we the undersigned, call upon parliamentarians to:ġ) Vote against Bill S-233 and Bill C-223 and any other legislation that encourages a universal income Ģ) End the carbon tax and reduce inflation that reduces people's purchasing power andģ) Approve new and existing pipeline proposals getting Canadian energy to tidewater while stimulating job growth in Alberta and across Canada.Īs Canada collectively manages the dual crises of energy security and climate change, the Government of Canada recognizes that a strong oil and gas sector will continue to play a key role throughout Canada’s and the world’s transition to a low-carbon economy. Taxes would have to be astronomically raised to pay for this new expenditure.Universal income disincentivizes people from working and maintaining a job and.The cost of sending every Canadian money and managing an income distribution system would be in the billions of dollars.A guaranteed basic income means that people would receive a paycheck even if they don't work or don't contribute to our communities.Bill S-233 and Bill C-223 propose to develop a framework for a universal basic income.We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
