In seeking to transform Canada’s economy and trade relationships the Carney Government has introduced a wide array of initiatives aimed at getting this country’s vast resource wealth out of the ground and into global markets. New tax incentives and deregulation for capital investment in the budget is the latest in a slew of initiatives aimed at increasing commodity production. The new Major Projects Office, too, has earmarked copper mines and LNG processing facilities as matters of national importance. Unearthing growth through commodities now appears to be a priority for this government, but Tim Pickering is still waiting before he celebrates.
