Government of Canada

In November 1996, the Cabinet approved a new Minerals and Metals Policy of the Government of Canada. The Policy, subtitled Partnerships for Sustainable Development, incorporates the concept of sustainable development into a comprehensive federal policy document with respect to minerals and metals. The Policy follows an extensive consultation process with all stakeholders. It represents an important source of guidance for federal decision-making on minerals and metals in the context of sustainable development.

In addition to English and French, copies of the Policy are available in Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Mandarin and Russian. Limited quantities can be obtained by contacting:
