"Canada has put its stake in the ground on critical minerals, but it's clear the industry requires much more support before Canada can be a viable and sustainable global player in the transition to a green economy," says Heather Cheeseman, Partner, and National Mining Leader for KPMG in Canada.

Key Points: 
  • "Canada has put its stake in the ground on critical minerals, but it's clear the industry requires much more support before Canada can be a viable and sustainable global player in the transition to a green economy," says Heather Cheeseman, Partner, and National Mining Leader for KPMG in Canada.
  • Because Canada has relatively little smelting or refining capacity for most critical minerals, the intermediary minerals Canada produces are shipped to smelters around the world.
  • Mining companies agree the CMETC has been successful in financing and advancing critical minerals exploration activities in Canada.
  • As the critical minerals industry evolves, innovative federal and provincial tax policies will be needed to spur domestic investment."
