This formal step determines which federal minister holds responsibilities and authorities assigned to a specified minister under that Act, such as involvement in sustainable jobs planning and workforce transition measures. Businesses, workers, and organizations in natural resource sectors who engage with federal sustainable jobs processes should be aware that the Minister of Natural Resources holds this designated role. A previous order on the same subject has been repealed and replaced by this new designation.
