In March, Executive Director of Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions, Sean Strickland appeared as a witness in front of the Committee to advocate, on behalf of the over 600,000 skilled trades workers that belong to CBTU, for the continued operation of Line 5 until the Great Lakes Tunnel project is complete.<\/p>\n\n<p>Hearing the recommendations of the Committee, we were pleased that the Government of Canada is standing up for good, Canadian jobs. The recommendations demonstrate cross-party support for an issue that will affect the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Canadians, at a time of such economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n<p>We support the recommendations to continue bilateral advocacy of government officials, invoking the 1977 Transit Pipelines Treaty if necessary, a government filed amicus curiae brief to the court of Michigan \u2013 and any and all tools at their disposal. CBTU would urge the committee to look at a bilateral, US-Canadian energy policy, one that includes workers, addresses our cross-border energy needs and secures both the US and Canada\u2019s energy future, so we\u2019re not dealing with these issues time and again.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the Special Committee on the Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States released their interim report reaffirming the importance of Enbridge\u2019s Line 5 pipeline to both Canada and the US.
