Proposed amendments to Bill C-50: The Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act

The briefing argues that while Bill C-50 provides a useful governance and accountability framework for Canada's net-zero economy, it contains gaps that limit its efficacy. It suggests amendments to improve the bill and references further recommendations for just transition legislation based on international best practices.

• Bill C-50 is intended to facilitate the creation of sustainable jobs and the progression toward a net-zero economy in Canada, though the author notes that this legislation by itself is insufficient to achieve an equitable low-carbon economy.
• The document identifies that gaps within Bill C-50 diminish its potential efficacy and impact, necessitating amendments to improve its inclusivity, accountability, and alignment with other climate policies.
