Seamus O’Regan is a senior cabinet minister in the Trudeau Government, where he sits as the Minister of Labour.
Previously, as the Minister of Natural Resources, O’Regan led the development of Canada’s hydrogen strategy, which provides real opportunities for green hydrogen production in Atlantic Canada.
O’Regan chats with Don and David about the recent amendments to the Atlantic Accords for both Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador that broaden those mandates to include green energy.
In his current role, O’Regan is responsible for a portion of the Canadian labour market. He talks about the challenges ensuring labour force availability in sectors like rail, air, trucking, and marine transportation. O’Regan is also strongly focused on his home province and clearly excited about its future.
This broad and illuminating conversation provides an insider view of some of the priorities of the current government and the potential impacts on our region.
