Teck CEO Advocates for Infrastructure and Permitting Reforms in Canadian Mining Sector

Teck Resources CEO Jonathan Price has called for reforms in Canada's permitting processes and infrastructure to attract critical minerals investment. He highlighted that Canada’s geological resources are abundant, but the lack of necessary infrastructure, such as roads and power lines, hampers project viability, particularly in Northwestern British Columbia.

Price stressed the importance of predictable approvals and public-private collaboration to enhance domestic supply chains. With electricity demand projected to rise significantly, the country must expedite project timelines to capitalize on its advantages in stability and technical expertise. Key stakeholders assert that a clear policy framework and permitting reliability are essential for funding strong projects.
