  • Canadians Want To Seize Opportunity In Critical Minerals

    Critical Minerals Essential to Healthcare, Defence and Clean Technology

    The Mining Association of Canada (MAC) released a new national poll, which highlights public enthusiasm for Canada to grow market share as a preferred global supplier of critical minerals, based on abundance and leading environmental standards.

    As demand for minerals and metals continues to grow, there is increasing focus on what are referred to as "critical minerals" - vital in the aerospace, defence, telecommunications, computing, and an array of clean technologies such as solar panels and electric car batteries.  China has been a major supplier of these minerals but Canada has an opportunity to play a larger role in this marketplace, as customers look for products made to high environmental standards, such as Canada's Towards Sustainable Mining program, developed by MAC.

  • Supporting Alberta’s Agriculture Industry

    In response to the mass disruptions in the agriculture industry caused by COVID-19, the Government of Alberta is introducing several new supports to help farmers and ranchers through AgriRecovery.

    A new fed cattle set-aside program will allow beef producers to hold on to slaughter-ready cattle on maintenance feed ration for several weeks, allowing the supply of animals to more evenly match demand and reduced processing capacity.

    Cattle producers will be compensated for the extraordinary costs until the backed-up inventory is cleared. Currently, there are about 130,000 cattle backed up in feedlots as a result of reduced operating capacity at major beef processing plants in Alberta. This comes at a substantial cost to cattle producers.
