I
refer to the predicted natural gas shortfall projected for 2024-25, and I ask: (a) how
many jobs in the natural gas sector are projected to be lost in the event of a
shortfall; and (b) given
the mining sector relies heavily on natural gas, should we expect mass loss of
jobs in the mining sector as well?
