This proposed law, Bill C-50, wants to make sure people can see what the government is doing to create good jobs and grow the economy while also protecting the environment.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about a proposed law called Bill C-50. The law wants to make sure Canada creates good, long-lasting jobs as we try to have a "net-zero" economy. Net-zero means we take as much pollution out of the air as we put in. Right now, the House of Commons is discussing changes to Bill C-50. This specific vote is about a small change (called an amendment) to the proposed law. If this change passes, it will change exactly how the government plans to create these green jobs. Citizens should care because this law will affect the kind of jobs available in the future and how Canada fights climate change.
