In addition, the Government of Canada released “A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy”, a climate plan that protects the environment, create jobs and support communities.

The plan is to build a better future with a healthier economy and environment. The climate plan builds on the work done to date and efforts that are already underway and continues down the path that Canadians, governments and businesses have been setting.

It is a key pillar in the Government’s commitment to creating over one million jobs, restoring employment to pre-pandemic levels – of which climate action and clean growth is a cornerstone.

It will make life more affordable for households, it will make Canadian communities more livable, and it will, at every turn, focus on workers and their careers in a stronger and cleaner economy.

Over the next few months, the Government of Canada will work with partners to ensure a strong, workable plan that can be delivered together.
