U.S. access to Canada’s critical minerals not ‘assured,’ Carney says

Prime Minister Mark Carney says access to Canada’s critical minerals is not assured for the United States, as he touted a new agreement with Ontario to streamline how mines and other major projects are approved, including in the province’s remote Ring of Fire region.

Mr. Carney, appearing with Ontario Premier Doug Ford at an announcement in Ottawa on Thursday, said the new agreement will bring a one-project, one-review and one-decision approach to major infrastructure projects in the province.
