Question Period Note: Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (CMMP)

• Canada is a global mining power, but we must act now to secure our leadership position.
• This is a generational opportunity to supply the world with safe, secure and sustainable commodities, products, services and innovations.
• The federal-provincial/territorial Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (CMMP) is an ambitious framework to boost Canadian competitiveness in a low-carbon, digital economy.
• The CMMP was released in Spring 2019 and includes six strategic directions involving governments, industry, Indigenous peoples, and non-governmental organizations across Canada:
o Economic Development and Competitiveness;
o Advancing the Participation of Indigenous Peoples;
o The Environment;
o Science, Technology and Innovation;
o Communities; and
o Global Leadership.
• We continue to collaborate with partners and stakeholders across Canada on a CMMP Action Plan, for release in 2020, to build on our strengths and realize global opportunities for Canadian firms.
• The result will be an innovative, low footprint, highly competitive industry that is central to Canada’s socio-economic success.

The Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (CMMP) is a pan-Canadian vision for the future of the minerals and metals sector to help position Canada as the leading mining nation and lay the foundation for lasting success at home and abroad.
