(c) a Green New Deal must be developed through transparent and inclusive consultation, collaboration, and partnership with Indigenous Peoples, frontline and vulnerable communities, labour unions, worker cooperatives, civil society groups, academia, and businesses; and

(d) to achieve the Green New Deal goals and mobilization, a Green New Deal will require (i) providing and leveraging, in a way that ensures that the public receives appropriate ownership stakes and returns on investment, adequate capital (including through community grants, public banks, and other public financing), technical expertise, supporting policies, and other forms of assistance to communities, organizations, federal, provincial, and municipal governments, and businesses working on the Green New Deal mobilization, (ii) ensuring that the government takes into account the complete environmental and social costs and impacts of emissions through existing laws, new policies and programs, and ensuring that frontline and vulnerable communities shall not be adversely affected, (iii) providing resources, training, and high-quality education, including higher education, to all Canadians, with a focus on frontline and vulnerable communities, so those communities may be full and equal participants in the Green New Deal mobilization, (iv) making public investments in the research and development of new clean and renewable energy technologies and industries, (v) directing investments to spur economic development, deepen and diversify industry in local and regional economies, and build wealth and community ownership, while prioritizing high-quality job creation and economic, social, and environmental benefits in frontline and vulnerable communities that may otherwise struggle with the transition away from greenhouse gas intensive industries, (vi) ensuring the use of democratic and participatory processes that are inclusive of and led by frontline and vulnerable communities and workers to plan, implement, and administer the Green New Deal mobilization at the local level, (vii) ensuring that the Green New Deal mobilization creates high-quality union jobs that pay prevailing wages, hires local workers, offers training and advancement opportunities, and guarantees wage and benefit parity for workers affected by the transition, (viii) guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security to all Canadians, (ix) strengthening and protecting the right of all workers to organize, unionize, and collectively bargain free of coercion, intimidation, and harassment, (x) strengthening and enforcing labour, workplace health and safety, antidiscrimination, and wage and hour standards across all employers, industries, and sectors, (xi) enacting and enforcing trade rules, procurement standards, and border adjustments with strong labor and environmental protections to stop the transfer of jobs and pollution overseas, and to grow domestic manufacturing in Canada, (xii) ensuring that public lands, waters, and oceans are protected, and that eminent domain is not abused, (xiii) obtaining the free, prior, and informed consent of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples for all decisions that affect First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples and their traditional territories, honouring all treaties and agreements with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, and protecting and enforcing the sovereignty and land rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, (xiv) ensuring a commercial environment where every businessperson is free from unfair competition and domination by domestic or international monopolies, (xv) providing all Canadians with high-quality health care, affordable, safe, and adequate housing, economic security, and access to clean water, clean air, healthy and affordable food, and nature.

M-2 — November 23, 2021 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) the International Energy Agency released a special report demonstrating that there is no longer any need to invest in or construct new fossil fuel supply projects, if we're to avoid catastrophic climate change,

(ii) the Canada Energy Regulator projects that if Canada strengthens its climate policies to cut more greenhouse gas emissions, the Trans Mountain expansion will not be needed,

(iii) an order stopping tree cutting and grass mowing across the entire Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project was issued by the Canada Energy Regulator, the agency that enforces safety and environmental guidelines for pipeline projects across Canada,

(iv) a recent report from the Canada Energy Regulator and the Parliamentary Budget Officer show that in almost all scenarios the Trans Mountain expansion project will not be financially viable,

(v) this project does not have the consent of all the First Nations whose unceded lands, territories or other resources would be affected by the Trans Mountain expansion project,

(vi) the pipeline project puts our communities, environment, ecosystems, coastlines, tourism and marine industries at risk,

(vii) the pipeline project undermines Canada's climate commitments to the Paris Agreement and puts the brakes on an environmental transition and the creation of quality jobs in a clean energy industry,

(viii) the cost of the Trans Mountain expansion project has risen by 70% to $12.6 billion, putting Canadian taxpayers' money, our economy and new jobs creation at risk; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should immediately stop the construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project and instead, invest in a Green New Deal for Canada.
