In 2022, the Canadian Government released a $3.8 billion critical minerals strategy and implemented a number of measures to support the strategy and advance the development of critical minerals projects in Canada. At the same time, the Canadian Government implemented a number of high-profile policy changes to reduce the influence of foreign state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in critical minerals.
