“With global tensions around trade, economic and energy security running high, countries are looking to reduce their risks. The obvious way to do this is through diversification of trade partners and suppliers. Demand for critical minerals is skyrocketing, particularly for their role in clean energy tech, and Canada has the resources to meet that demand.
Article content
The G7 leaders’ commitment to a standards-based market for critical minerals is particularly good news for Canada’s mining sector, whose Indigenous engagement and labour and environmental practices are the global gold standard. While critical mineral development has lagged in Canada of late, this action plan sets a big incentive for Canadian governments, communities and industries to get things built responsibly and quickly.”
