Hassan Yussuff joins Nate to discuss a just and fair transition for workers as we set Canada on a credible path towards net zero, with reference to his work as co-chair of the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities.
Yussuff was recently appointed to the Senate, after serving two terms as the president of the Canadian Labour Congress. In addition to his involvement on the Just Transition task force, he has previously served on the government's NAFTA Council, Sustainable Development Advisory Council, and the Net-Zero Advisory Body.
In addition to their conversation on a just and fair transition, they also discuss what Yussuff hopes to bring to his role as a Senator and the progress he helped to oversee in his tenure at the CLC.
