Canadian Climate Groups Urge ‘Green Strings’ on Recovery Funding – The Energy Mix:

As Finance Minister Bill Morneau
prepares to release a fiscal update today, Canada’s leading

They say the government must limit

ensure that funding pays for “jobs and stability, not executives and
shareholders”, and support a just transition that prepares workers for
green jobs.
