Davit Akman, David Redford, and Jeremy Barretto have been quoted in Lexpert’s Special Edition on Energy and Mining as part of an article titled “Progress on Critical Minerals, But Foreign Investment Scrutiny Squeezing Capital Access.”
Writes Aidan McNab: “Lawyers say federal and provincial policies to strengthen and nurture Canadian production of critical minerals are steadily progressing toward their goal of turning Canada into a hub. However, some caution that policies aimed at preventing investment in Canada from state-owned enterprises are squeezing access to capital for Canadian companies and projects.”
In the article, Davit notes that “some market participants are concerned that the Critical Minerals Strategy and Canada’s policies toward critical minerals more broadly have chilled inbound investor interest in Canadian companies and projects.” David adds that the “lack of clarity on certain items within Canada’s critical minerals policies and their extraterritorial reach has had a significant impact on the junior end of the market.” While Jeremy indicates “that the federal and provincial critical minerals strategies have yet to achieve their goals of expediting project approval and assessment processes.” You can read the full article here.
