Un Groupe de travail<\/a> a r\u00e9cemment \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en place en r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 un appel du gouvernement pour des id\u00e9es et contributions pour la reprise \u00e9conomique du Canada suite au COVID-19. La Fraternit\u00e9 internationale des Chaudronniers \u00e9tait l\u2019une des organisations \u00e0 laquelle on avait demand\u00e9 de participer dans le d\u00e9veloppement d\u2019un plan qui aidera le Canada \u00e0 b\u00e2tir un chemin vers une relance significative. Le Groupe de travail a examin\u00e9 les r\u00f4les que pouvaient jouer les ressources naturelles et la production dans la cr\u00e9ation de jusqu\u2019\u00e0 2,6 millions d\u2019emplois, s\u2019\u00e9levant \u00e0 une augmentation de 200 milliards de dollars en salaires potentiels. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

The Task Force for Real Jobs, Real Recovery Releases Natural Resource-Focused Economic Recovery Plan<\/h4>\n

Sector could create 2.6 million new jobs while setting the foundation for a low-emissions future<\/i><\/p>\n

VANCOUVER, B.C., August 19, 2020: Today, the national Task Force for Real Jobs, Real Recovery<\/a> \u2014 which represents over a quarter of a million businesses and over 3 million workers across Canada\u2014released Securing Canada\u2019s Economic Future: Natural resources for real jobs and real recovery<\/i><\/a>, a blueprint for Canada's economic recovery in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Economic modelling conducted for the Task Force indicates that with the right success conditions, natural resources and manufacturing could create up to 2.6 million new jobs and up to a 17 per cent increase in real gross domestic product (GDP). This could amount to a nearly $200-billion increase in potential labour earnings, while still moving Canada towards a low-emissions future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need economic solutions that punch above their weight. It\u2019s the only way to address the significant fallout to our economy caused by COVID-19,\u201d said Stewart Muir. \u201cProjections are for our economy to shrink from 6 to even 7 per cent if we see a second wave in 2020. The good news is that the resource sector can be our engine of growth, while we continue to take meaningful climate action.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the first quarter of 2019, resource industries directly contributed $236 billion to Canadian GDP, representing 11.3 per cent of the Canadian economy. The sector\u2019s workers are paid the highest average annual salary of any sector. This means their pay will help to generate the demand for goods and services needed to drive employment in other sectors including retail, real estate, entertainment, hospitality and tourism. An investment in a single oil and gas job creates up to six other jobs across our economy.<\/p>\n

\nThe resource sector is also key to economic reconciliation with Indigenous communities and peoples. Indigenous-owned businesses are 40 times more likely to be involved in the mining and oil and gas sectors than the average Canadian business. The resource sector hires twice as many Indigenous employees and pays on average twice as much in wages as other sectors.<\/p>\n

Canada is also a global leader in developing resources and manufactures goods with some of the lowest greenhouse gas intensity levels in the world. For example, Canadian potash is produced with only one third of the global average emissions intensity. As the global economy continues to demand resources and energy, there is a net benefit to the world to use Canadian products because of the lower impacts on climate. In addition, we have some of the leading safety measures in the world. Increasingly the sector is sharing its experience integrating resource development with sustainability and best-in-class environmental management with other countries in areas such as mining, chemistry, forestry and pipelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is that the resource sector is foundational to Indigenous people\u2019s success,\u201d said Karen Ogen-Toews, Councillor, Wet'suwet'en First Nation and CEO, First Nations LNG Alliance. \u201cIt helps to provide jobs for people in their communities, provide family-supporting wages and empower our nations increasingly as co-managers. If we are going to come back from the COVID-19 pandemic, we need these opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report makes 19 recommendations for how to enable the resource sector to meaningfully advance the prosperity and vitality of Canadian society, communities and workers. It indicates that urgent action is required by federal policy makers in order to realize this vision and emerge\u2014with the support of mining, oil and gas, forestry, chemistry, manufacturing, construction and transportation\u2014from the COVID-19 crisis into a brighter future.<\/p>\n

Securing Canada\u2019s Economic Future asserts that global and trade competitiveness will be core determinants of the success of our economic recovery and the return to our standards of living for individuals and families. It also determines that a status quo approach to economic recovery would neglect opportunities to generate significant, sustained and shared benefits for all Canadians.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollaborative and ambitious leadership by the federal government, with alignment across all levels of government, stands to unleash the full potential of natural resource industries,\u201d said Muir. \u201cWe are hopeful that the federal government will review these recommendations with us and begin implementing them as fast as possible. We simply have no time to waste.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Task Force was convened to develop specific recommendations to inform federal policy direction on Canada\u2019s economic recovery. By clearing the way for innovation, the federal government can secure the place of nation-building resource assets in aiding long-term environmental goals as well as securing our prosperity.<\/p>\n

The Report includes a series of extensive, wide-ranging recommendations to achieve these goals, among them:<\/p>\n
