AmCham Hosts a Conversation on U.S. - Canada Energy Security and the Crucial Role of Critical Minerals

Oct 10, 2024

October 10, 2024 -- Ottawa

AmCham Canada was proud to partner with the Business Council of Canada in hosting U.S. Ambassador. David Cohen and Jonathan Price, President and CEO of Teck Resources Limited for an engaging discussion on the crucial role of critical minerals in strengthening U.S. - Canada energy security.  Key take included Ambassador Cohen's observation that tension between Ottawa and some provinces on resource development is “not a productive exercise for easing the investment climate and furthering the growth” of the mining sector. 

CEO Price called for urgent and immediate action on the part of governments in Canada and the United States to increase support for critical mineral development and processing to counter anti-competitive tactics deployed by China in undermining the development of Western supply chains.  "If we are going to have any chance of truly diversifying the critical minerals supply chain… it will require more ambitious and strategic government support to increase mining and mineral processing. In order to unlock the tremendous resource potential that exists in North America", said Price.
