Federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) collaboration is essential to advance the critical mineral file and seize opportunities. The federal government engaged provinces and territories through a FPT task team to help refine and support Canada’s list of critical minerals.
Canada’s critical minerals are:
Essential to Canada’s economic security
Required for Canada’s transition to a low-carbon economy
A sustainable source of critical minerals for our partners
The list provides greater certainty and predictability to industry, investors, provinces and territories and Canada’s international partners on Canada’s mineral priorities. It also enables policy makers to target and address key points in supply chains.
Positioning Canada as a global supplier of choice
Canada is leveraging its resources, mining and innovation ecosystems, and global leadership to position Canada as the supplier of choice for global markets. Federal, provincial and territorial governments are working together to translate these advantages into greater results for Canadians. The list is part of Canada’s commitment to implement the Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan, develop a critical minerals strategy, and lead a whole-of-government approach to strengthen domestic critical mineral value chains.
This includes identifying ways to help
Bolster Canadian critical minerals projects and supply chain development
Target policy development to secure Canada’s position in global value chains
Coordinate international engagement to advance Canada’s interests with allies
Support research and development to unlock innovation across value chains
These efforts will help advance the competitiveness of our minerals and metals sector and create new economic opportunities for Canadians.
