Minister Wilkinson Releases Canada's $3.8-billion Critical Minerals Strategy to Seize Generational Opportunity for Clean, Inclusive Growth

Primary source

Natural Resources Canada

OfficialenPublished 9 Dec 2022Accessed 23 Sep 2026

Natural Resources Canada's own release announcing the Strategy, datelined "December 9, 2022 Vancouver, British Columbia". Read in full 2026-08-12. Source of the funding figure, the five stated outcomes and the attributed ministerial quotation. Caveat: this release announces the Strategy and is not the Strategy document itself; the 31-mineral list it refers to was not machine-read in this session, so the material scope coded on the event is limited to the minerals this release names. Re-read in full in a browser on 2026-09-23 (canada.ca times out for automated clients); every amount and quotation in the Capital & Control rows that cite it was checked against that text.
