Guilbeault, McKenna, Wilkinson to Chart Post-COVID Green Recovery – The Energy Mix
The three ministers’ planning for the “green reboot” is still in its earliest stages, at a moment when the machinery of government is preoccupied with the immediate response to a global health emergency, La Presse says. “For the moment, the federal cabinet’s absolute priority is to manage the crisis and support families, workers, and businesses.” After that, the government will look at gradually lifting shelter-at-home restrictions before implementing a follow-up recovery plan.
At that point, La Presse says the recovery agenda could include faster electrification of transportation, support for lower-emitting, more resilient infrastructure, and funding for home energy retrofits.
