Accelerating critical resource projects is a win-win for Indigenous Peoples and Canada.
With Prime Minister Mark Carney having sworn in his streamlined cabinet, and King Charles set to deliver a historic Speech from the Throne on May 27, Canada stands at a pivotal moment to define its economic and sovereign future. The nation’s abundant critical minerals and robust Indigenous partnerships present a strategic opportunity to reinforce Canada’s autonomy and economic resilience.
Global demand for critical minerals is expected to more than double by 2040. It is estimated that we’ll need an extra $100 billion USD globally in capital investment in resource projects every year until 2050 to meet demand.
