Fasken’s Chair, Martin Denyes, reflects on Canada’s increasing appeal to international investors in an op-ed published in The Northern Miner.
Written on the occasion of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada’s annual convention, the article outlines the opportunities associated with the federal government’s stated intention to accelerate major mining and energy projects while significantly reducing regulatory barriers.
It also emphasizes that this window of opportunity will not remain open indefinitely, and that Canada must act decisively to advance major projects, reduce friction, and reaffirm its position as a competitive place to invest.
“We now have the world’s attention. The world believes—or wants to believe—our story of trade diversification, a commitment to economic resilience, and a promise to get projects done. But we need to move decisively, lest capital sense delay and turn its attention, once again, in other directions,” wrote Martin Denyes.
