Critical minerals

from Just Asking

This week, Ontario passed Bill 5 that aims to speed up mining projects, despite opposition from First Nations and environmental groups. Last week, B.C. passed Bill 15 intended to speed up major projects, including critical mineral mines - which is being met with similar pushback in that province. So what do critical minerals mean for the future of the Canadian economy, and what are the environmental impacts of these projects? To answer your questions about critical minerals, Just Asking spoke to two experts. Mark Cameron is a Public Policy Forum fellow and Warren Mabee is the Director of the Queen's Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy.
