Prime Minister Carney announces Canadas strategy to protect nature and biodiversity

Prime Minister Carney announces Canadas strategy to protect nature and biodiversity

Thank you. Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. Thank you, Julie, for your work and that of Nathalie and Joanne. Nathalie Provost, Joanne Thompson, and all the teams represented here today. You have made this historic and vital day possible. It’s great to have the backdrop of Gatineau Park, a jewel of Quebec and of Canada’s National Capital Region.

Our country is blessed by an incredible natural heritage. From the rugged Atlantic shores to the towering peaks of the Rockies, from the sweeping Prairies to the Boreal Forest, from the Arctic to the sprawling mountains of British Columbia, nature is at the heart of Canada. It is at the heart of our identity. Nature strengthens our sovereignty. It supports our economy. It sustains our lives and livelihoods.

We are in a province where this reality is deeply felt. Where the landscape shapes the culture, the language, and everyday life. Just like the rivers that flow into the St. Lawrence, which serve as waterways and vital arteries for ecosystems. As Canadians, nature is in our nature. Our natural environment makes us unique in the world. Our lands stretch out to form the second-largest country in the world, bordered by the world’s longest coastline.

Canada’s home to 20% of the world’s freshwater, 25% of the world’s wetlands, almost a quarter of the world’s Boreal Forest, more than 80,000 species, from the iconic polar bears, beavers, Canada geese, to the unique eastern wolf, Vancouver Island marmot, and the Peary caribou. Nature is also an asset that provides the flow of goods and services over time. These ecosystem services make nature our greatest ally in the fight against climate change. They help mitigate and reduce the severity of climate disasters. Wetlands absorb carbon and they absorb excess rainfall. Forests prevent erosion and floods. Healthy ecosystems reduce the impacts of severe weather that can damage our communities. While protecting us, nature also provides for us, including the very building blocks of life, food, clean water, materials for shelter, and our ecosystems provide massive economic benefits for Canadians. One example, the sites managed by Parks Canada alone contribute over $4 billion to Canada’s GDP and they employ over 37,000 Canadians.

When we fail to protect nature, we are not making a sound economic choice. We are making a choice that works against us.

Now, the very scale of Canada’s natural heritage makes our choices consequential for the entire world, and Canada has been a world leader in protecting global nature. Some of you, those behind me, those in front of me, those watching, were at the UN Biodiversity Conference in Montreal in 2022 where Canada helped secure a landmark agreement to halt and reverse global nature loss, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. As part of it, we and others committed to one of the world’s biggest conservation goals, protecting 30% of our lands and waters by the end of this decade, by 2030. This included a commitment to identify critical areas for our biodiversity and ecosystems, and by conserving these habitats, helping to limit the effects of climate change.

For a country as vast as ours, protecting 30% of our land and water is an ambitious goal. It is a goal that our government is determined to achieve. To that end, today we are launching A Force of Nature: Canada’s Strategy to Protect Nature.

Today, we’re launching a force of nature, Canada’s strategy to protect nature. This is an ambitious new plan that invests $3.8 billion of new funds across three pillars, protecting nature, building Canada well, and valuing nature and mobilizing capital. Nature is a force for our well-being. When we’re protecting nature, we’re protecting Canadians, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the rivers we swim in. That’s why today, we are putting in place enduring mechanisms to achieve that goal of protecting 30% of our lands and waters by 2030. To get there, we’re moving forward with a comprehensive approach. We’ll create new national parks and marine conservation sites, new national urban parks, everything that Julie got into politics for and more, and new so-called other effective area-based conservation measures, which are sites where the land and water can be conserved while allowing some other activities. Creating these spaces is ambitious. It requires significant funding and we know we can’t do it with just public money alone. That’s why we’ll work with the private sector to catalyze investments and preserve our lands and waters.

Now, we’re starting investing in our existing national parks to safeguard the extraordinary sites so they can be experienced for generations to come. We all have our connections just outside of Fort Smith, Northwest Territories where I was born, Wood Buffalo National Park has made the preservation of the bison and the whooping crane possible, both endangered species when I was born. When I was growing up in Edmonton, I made lasting memories in Jasper National Park, just as my kids did here in Gatineau Park. So, creating new parks and making all parks more accessible will help every Canadian experience the beauty of our great nation as I have. That’s one of the reasons, one of many, why we renewed the Canada Strong Pass for this summer, so Canadians can visit all our national parks for free, and it’s why we’re moving forward immediately on two new conservation sites. The first is the Wiinipaawk Indigenous Protected Area and National Marine Conservation Area in eastern James Bay off Quebec, and the second is the Seal River Watershed National Park in Manitoba.

The Wiinipaawk Indigenous Protected Area and National Marine Conservation Area will protect a vital region that supports Indigenous communities and is home to Canada’s great northern species, including polar bears and belugas.

The Seal River Watershed National Park will help protect the world’s largest intact watershed, think about that, the world’s largest intact watershed, providing natural carbon storage, water filtration, flood protection, while preserving the habitat for polar bears, caribou, and other iconic Canadian wildlife. It’s a good day to be a polar bear in Canada.

Often, when we talk about conservation, we mean setting land aside and restricting most of the activity on it. We have to find ways to conserve lands and waters while permitting activity that doesn’t threaten them. We are achieving this through Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures. These are lands and waters that we can conserve while allowing other activity. An example of this is Canadian Forces Base Shilo, in southwestern Manitoba. Parts of the land are actively used by the Armed Forces, while others remain undisturbed, protecting vital ecosystems. We’re looking at other areas where we can do the same to conserve nature in a practical way without taking land out of use entirely. As Julie said, partnership is at the heart of our plan. Indigenous peoples have a deep, historic understanding of the environment. We will work in partnership with Indigenous communities to implement this strategy. We will work together with conservation organizations, drawing on their expertise in ecosystem protection. We will work together with the provinces and territories to optimise our conservation efforts at the national level.

Right now, today, about 14% of our land is protected, and through these new parks and conservation areas, we will add an additional 16% by 2030, achieving fully our 30% goal.

It’s a big day. And as we protect our land, we will protect our waters. We’re establishing up to 14 new marine-protected areas and conserved areas and up to 10 new national marine conservation areas. Two of these areas are in the Arctic. The Sarvarjuaq and Qikiqtait marine-protected areas. Together, they’ll help protect the habitats of species that are central to Arctic ecosystems, walruses, belugas, and you guessed it, polar bears. In total, these new conservation areas will add over 12%, bringing us towards our 30% target for marine-protected areas and about 28% of protected waters once complete. So, we’ve got work to do to close that gap and we will close that gap. To restore our waters, we’re also removing one of the deadliest forms of marine pollution, ghost gear, that’s gear abandoned and discarded fishing gear that harms marine mammals and seabirds, and I heard about this on the wharf in West Pubnico on Friday, the importance of extending this, and I knew that Minister Thompson had stood up. We’re extending the Ghost Gear Fund, which has already removed over 2,500 tonnes of fishing equipment from Canada’s waters since 2020. We’re investing, as a government, in existing efforts that deliver the best results, like the Pacific Salmon Strategy which protects this vital lifeblood of ecosystems on the West Coast, and we’re investing in Canada’s Atlantic Salmon Strategy to stabilize and then rebuild wild salmon populations.

A strong and resilient economy depends on healthy ecosystems. Balancing nature conservation with development has two advantages.

It stimulates growth while also protecting the natural environment, which is the foundation of our economy. Our government is tirelessly committed to building a new economy built on major infrastructure projects. We will build sustainably, while preserving our natural environment. Because a country’s strength depends on the health of its land and the quality of its water. Nature is a driving force for our economy thanks to the vitality of its ecosystems. We must adopt construction methods that support our conservation efforts, while creating and protecting nature and wildlife preserves.

Through more comprehensive mapping of our nature, which is part of this plan, we’ll have a better understanding of the biodiversity and carbon sequestration capacity across Canada. That improved mapping will create predictable pathways for project approvals and catalyze investment in conservation. Nature can be a force for good that mobilizes private capital, that protects the environment. I know this from my work as the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, when the private sector incorporates reducing emissions and protecting nature in their value chains, they have greater incentives to invest. They’re more motivated to reduce practices that result in habitat loss and pollution.

In Canada and around the world, innovative financing models are emerging to help direct private investment toward protecting nature. To capitalise on these tools, we will launch an expert task force on natural capital accounting and nature-protection financing. The task force will identify how we measure nature’s value and explore pathways to treat it as an asset worth protecting. An asset we cannot live without. When we track the condition of our ecosystems with the same rigour we bring to tracking economic and financial performance, we create a foundation for investment decisions that protect ecosystems.

Our national identity is rooted in our country’s magnificent diverse landscapes, like the one behind us. As the Saugeen Ojibway Nation poet Elder Dr. Duke Redbird observed, the spirit of the people is equal to the power of the land.

What we have inherited as Canadians is extraordinary. But in return, we have a responsibility – a great responsibility – to protect what we have. To be the caretakers of the lands and waters we revel in. This is a responsibility that Canada’s new government is acting on with focus and determination.

Prime Minister Carney launches the Build Communities Strong Fund

Thank you. Thank you very much, Gregor. Good morning, everyone. Good morning, everyone. It is a great pleasure to be back in Brampton. It’s a great pleasure to be back with Mayor Patrick Brown. Thank you, Patrick, for your partnership on this project, your partnership, your leadership, your vision, your action across a wide range of initiatives in Brampton, making Brampton more secure, more prosperous, and more fun.

Because in the end, fitness, fun and community is what where we are today, is what Century Gardens Recreation Centre and its new Community Youth Hub is about. This broader space will house and host basketball court ofAmphitheatre, E-Sports Room, the Atiba Hutchinson Soccer court. Mayor and I were just talking about this named after Atiba Hutchinson, of course, one of Brampton’s greatest exports.

And kids are already beginning to train on the soccer court in the hopes of matching his incredible career that included, and I looked this up, 109 caps for Canada. Think of those kids dreaming of playing in the World Cup. A very long time ago, I had similar dreams. I didn’t realise that my dreams of playing in the World Cup or the NHL for that matter. But I did make close friends and I learned the right values playing sports at my community centre, the Laurier Heights Community Centre in Edmonton. So, 40-ish years later, I returned there last year to launch my campaign to become the Liberal leader and, with the support of the voters of Brampton and elsewhere, Canada’s Prime Minister. But when I launched at that time in the community centre, my core message was “It’s time to build.” And today, we’re beginning to deliver on that promise for communities right across Canada. That means building hospitals in our communities, so people don’t have to drive 2 hours or wait many more when their child is sick. It means building new rapid transit that reduces traffic and cuts the commute home in half. And it means community centres like Century Gardens, where kids can play safely on the weekend.

Canada’s new government is building major infrastructure projects –ports, mines, and highways – that connect and transform our economy, and we’re building the strong, local infrastructure that connects communities and transforms the services you receive, your commute, and your everyday life. Local communities are the heartbeat of Canada, and we are building strong communities.

Canada strong means Halifax strong, Laval strong, Brampton strong, and today as the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure just mentioned we’re officially launching the Build Community Strong Fund, a $51 billion investment in community infrastructure across this country. We’re partnering with provinces, territories, and municipalities to build local infrastructure, from better hospitals and public transit to new community centres. And there are three streams of funding: a provincial stream, a direct delivery stream, and a community stream. And I’m going to spend a few minutes going through each. The $12 billion provincial and territorial stream is focused on public transit, education, health care, and housing enabling infrastructure.

Last week, Premier Ford and I announced the first agreement under this stream called the Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build. And this partnership does many things, but one of the most important things is it will cut development charges in half across the province and eliminate the full 13% GST and HST on new homes valued up to $1,000,000. So, you combine those lower taxes and lower fees, that’s up to $200,000 off a new home right here in Brampton.

We’re also working with Ontario on a half a dozen transit projects, from the Hamilton LRT and the Waterfront East LRT to the Alto High-Speed Rail. We’re pursuing similar partnerships with all of the provinces and territories to make housing more affordable and our communities safer and more vibrant right across Canada, with provincial matching and cuts to development fees. What’s happening is all orders of government can pull in the same direction towards the same goals.

In addition to strengthening communities, local infrastructure is playing an increasingly important role in homebuilding. When there’s no public transit, appropriate wastewater systems, or community spaces, families don’t want to move. Housing demand slows down, and homes don’t get built.

So, we’re working with provinces to do many things, including modernising colleges and universities, and that includes the $25 million for the Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Medicine right here in Brampton.

So, Canadian workers can (inaudible). As I mentioned, we’re building the buses and trains that connect our communities and one of our top priorities, and this is a new priority for the federal government. A top priority is federal funding to help build and revitalise Canada’s hospitals, because in many communities, hospitals were built in the 1970s and they’re now serving populations that are twice as big as they were designed for. Families are waiting too long for the care they deserve. So, we’re deploying $5 billion through a health infrastructure fund to build more emergency departments and new urgent care centres. And we’re investing in long-term care, palliative care, and mental health care to fill infrastructure gaps across the health care system.

One of our main priorities is to invest federal funding to build and modernise Canada’s hospitals so you can get the care you need. We are investing $5billion to build more emergency services and new urgent care centres. This includes new investments in long-term care, palliative care, and mental health services.

Under the second stream, the $6 billion direct delivery stream, we’re working with the Canada Infrastructure Bank to help mobilise private sector investment to amplify public dollars and accelerate projects. And as Gregor mentioned, this includes building climate resilient infrastructure to reduce the impacts of floods, extreme heats, and fires. It also means local communal spaces that bring people together with our first project right here in Brampton. I’m pleased to announce that Canada’s new government will be investing $64 million to build the new Embleton Community Centre and Park.

This is huge- this is hugely exciting. It’s a 175,000 square foot space with competitive and recreational pools, a gymnasium, a fitness centre, child care services, an ice-skating pavilion, courts for tennis and pickleball, nets for cricket. It will be a space where families gather, where kids learn to swim, where athletes train, and where this great community grows. And it’s happening. It’s only happening because of the strong partnership between the federal government, the private sector, and the city of Brampton. I want to thank Mayor Brown for his leadership. I want to thank Sonia Sidhu, the MP for Brampton South, as well as our Brampton caucus for championing this great project and getting it built. This week, our government is launching its first tranche of projects that will build communities strong across Canada. From Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, to Iqaluit to St. Albert, Alberta, who are our great rivals when I was growing up in Laurier Heights, so I just wanted – this shows that we are governing for all of Canada. The government will announce a dozen projects worth $300million in federal funding this week, from new sports and recreation centres to new water treatment plants and reservoirs, that provides the necessary infrastructure to enable new homebuilding.

Now we know that local communities will have even more ideas. So, we’re also launching a new portal on the Build Community Strong Fund web page for proponents to apply for new projects.

And finally, the $27-billion community stream will allow for predictable, long-term investment in local infrastructure. These investments are designated for municipalities directly, and involve nearly 20categories of public infrastructure, including wastewater and storm water infrastructure, roads, and bridges. In the coming weeks, a series of projects under this stream will move forward.

Funding for the Building Communities Strong Fund will be matched by nearly $17billion from provinces, with additional billions leveraged through municipal partnerships and private capital. The Build Communities Strong Fund will, as a result, be a force multiplier, supporting over 42,000 high-paying careers in communities across Canada, from engineering to skilled trades, and boosting our GDP by an estimated $95 billion over the next decade. Think about that. That’s $12billion in infrastructure investment, local infrastructure investment, every year for the next eight years, nearly double the rate of the previous eight years. And as the mayor kindly mentioned, we’ll move fast. And I will point out that at that meeting of Big City Mayors, the mayor made a number of important points. Mayor Brown did, including first on his list, moving fast, hitting this construction season. In the coming year, nearly 500 projects representing over $6 billion in investment are expected to break ground.

By building infrastructure that promotes homebuilding, we are enabling the construction of thousands of new homes. We launched Build Canada Homes in September to help kickstart a new housing industry in Canada. We’re using public lands, innovative technologies, and funding to build homes faster than we have in a generation.

We’re building the right projects and we’re doing so in the right ways. We’re building sustainably with low carbon investments that make Canada more competitive. Embleton will be net zero. We’re building in solidarity with workers, creating good union jobs across the skilled trades. We’re building inclusively in full partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis, and above all, we’re building Canadian with Canadian workers, Canadian steel, Canadian lumber, Canadian expertise. Every project– from housing and public transit to roads, bridges, hospitals, community centres– will support workers in the skilled trades by prioritising those Canadian materials and Canadian manufacturing under our new Buy Canadian Policy. Now, going back to where I started, in a little over two months, a few kilometres from here, Canada’s men’s soccer team will take the field for their first game at the World Cup. Brampton will be well represented. to Tajon Buchanan, Cyle Larin, Jonathan Osorio all started their careers in Brampton’s community centres, parks, recreational centres. Places like the ones we’re building today. Now, the true value of community infrastructure goes well beyond these superstars. It goes to every kid who gets to play, to every parent who gets to watch, to the safe spaces, to work out, hang out, and just have fun. Because when we invest where we live, we invest in each other. And that’s how we build Brampton strong for all and Canada strong for all.

Thank you. Thank you very much, Gregor. Good morning, everyone. Good morning, everyone. It is a great pleasure to be back in Brampton. It’s a great pleasure to be back with Mayor Patrick Brown. Thank you, Patrick, for your partnership on this project, your partnership, your leadership, your vision, your action across a wide range of initiatives in Brampton, making Brampton more secure, more prosperous, and more fun.

Because in the end, fitness, fun and community is what where we are today, is what Century Gardens Recreation Centre and its new Community Youth Hub is about.

It means building new rapid transit that reduces traffic and cuts the commute home in half. And it means community centres like Century Gardens, where kids can play safely on the weekend.

Canada’s new government is building major infrastructure projects –ports, mines, and highways – that connect and transform our economy, and we’re building the strong, local infrastructure that connects communities and transforms the services you receive, your commute, and your everyday life. Local communities are the heartbeat of Canada, and we are building strong communities.

Canada strong means Halifax strong, Laval strong, Brampton strong, and today as the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure just mentioned we’re officially launching the Build Community Strong Fund, a $51 billion investment in community infrastructure across this country. We’re partnering with provinces, territories, and municipalities to build local infrastructure, from better hospitals and public transit to new community centres. And there are three streams of funding: a provincial stream, a direct delivery stream, and a community stream. And I’m going to spend a few minutes going through each. The $12 billion provincial and territorial stream is focused on public transit, education, health care, and housing enabling infrastructure.

Last week, Premier Ford and I announced the first agreement under this stream called the Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build. And this partnership does many things, but one of the most important things is it will cut development charges in half across the province and eliminate the full 13% GST and HST on new homes valued up to $1,000,000. So, you combine those lower taxes and lower fees, that’s up to $200,000 off a new home right here in Brampton.

We’re also working with Ontario on a half a dozen transit projects, from the Hamilton LRT and the Waterfront East LRT to the Alto High-Speed Rail. We’re pursuing similar partnerships with all of the provinces and territories to make housing more affordable and our communities safer and more vibrant right across Canada, with provincial matching and cuts to development fees. What’s happening is all orders of government can pull in the same direction towards the same goals.

In addition to strengthening communities, local infrastructure is playing an increasingly important role in homebuilding. When there’s no public transit, appropriate wastewater systems, or community spaces, families don’t want to move. Housing demand slows down, and homes don’t get built.

So, we’re working with provinces to do many things, including modernising colleges and universities, and that includes the $25 million for the Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Medicine right here in Brampton.

So, Canadian workers can (inaudible). As I mentioned, we’re building the buses and trains that connect our communities and one of our top priorities, and this is a new priority for the federal government. A top priority is federal funding to help build and revitalise Canada’s hospitals, because in many communities, hospitals were built in the 1970s and they’re now serving populations that are twice as big as they were designed for. Families are waiting too long for the care they deserve. So, we’re deploying $5 billion through a health infrastructure fund to build more emergency departments and new urgent care centres. And we’re investing in long-term care, palliative care, and mental health care to fill infrastructure gaps across the health care system.

One of our main priorities is to invest federal funding to build and modernise Canada’s hospitals so you can get the care you need. We are investing $5billion to build more emergency services and new urgent care centres. This includes new investments in long-term care, palliative care, and mental health services.

Under the second stream, the $6 billion direct delivery stream, we’re working with the Canada Infrastructure Bank to help mobilise private sector investment to amplify public dollars and accelerate projects. And as Gregor mentioned, this includes building climate resilient infrastructure to reduce the impacts of floods, extreme heats, and fires. It also means local communal spaces that bring people together with our first project right here in Brampton. I’m pleased to announce that Canada’s new government will be investing $64 million to build the new Embleton Community Centre and Park.

This is huge- this is hugely exciting. It’s a 175,000 square foot space with competitive and recreational pools, a gymnasium, a fitness centre, child care services, an ice-skating pavilion, courts for tennis and pickleball, nets for cricket. It will be a space where families gather, where kids learn to swim, where athletes train, and where this great community grows. And it’s happening. It’s only happening because of the strong partnership between the federal government, the private sector, and the city of Brampton. I want to thank Mayor Brown for his leadership. I want to thank Sonia Sidhu, the MP for Brampton South, as well as our Brampton caucus for championing this great project and getting it built. This week, our government is launching its first tranche of projects that will build communities strong across Canada. From Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, to Iqaluit to St. Albert, Alberta, who are our great rivals when I was growing up in Laurier Heights, so I just wanted – this shows that we are governing for all of Canada. The government will announce a dozen projects worth $300million in federal funding this week, from new sports and recreation centres to new water treatment plants and reservoirs, that provides the necessary infrastructure to enable new homebuilding.

Now we know that local communities will have even more ideas. So, we’re also launching a new portal on the Build Community Strong Fund web page for proponents to apply for new projects.

And finally, the $27-billion community stream will allow for predictable, long-term investment in local infrastructure. These investments are designated for municipalities directly, and involve nearly 20categories of public infrastructure, including wastewater and storm water infrastructure, roads, and bridges. In the coming weeks, a series of projects under this stream will move forward.

Funding for the Building Communities Strong Fund will be matched by nearly $17billion from provinces, with additional billions leveraged through municipal partnerships and private capital. The Build Communities Strong Fund will, as a result, be a force multiplier, supporting over 42,000 high-paying careers in communities across Canada, from engineering to skilled trades, and boosting our GDP by an estimated $95 billion over the next decade. Think about that. That’s $12billion in infrastructure investment, local infrastructure investment, every year for the next eight years, nearly double the rate of the previous eight years. And as the mayor kindly mentioned, we’ll move fast. And I will point out that at that meeting of Big City Mayors, the mayor made a number of important points. Mayor Brown did, including first on his list, moving fast, hitting this construction season. In the coming year, nearly 500 projects representing over $6 billion in investment are expected to break ground.

By building infrastructure that promotes homebuilding, we are enabling the construction of thousands of new homes. We launched Build Canada Homes in September to help kickstart a new housing industry in Canada. We’re using public lands, innovative technologies, and funding to build homes faster than we have in a generation.

We’re building the right projects and we’re doing so in the right ways. We’re building sustainably with low carbon investments that make Canada more competitive. Embleton will be net zero. We’re building in solidarity with workers, creating good union jobs across the skilled trades. We’re building inclusively in full partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis, and above all, we’re building Canadian with Canadian workers, Canadian steel, Canadian lumber, Canadian expertise. Every project– from housing and public transit to roads, bridges, hospitals, community centres– will support workers in the skilled trades by prioritising those Canadian materials and Canadian manufacturing under our new Buy Canadian Policy. Now, going back to where I started, in a little over two months, a few kilometres from here, Canada’s men’s soccer team will take the field for their first game at the World Cup. Brampton will be well represented. to Tajon Buchanan, Cyle Larin, Jonathan Osorio all started their careers in Brampton’s community centres, parks, recreational centres. Places like the ones we’re building today. Now, the true value of community infrastructure goes well beyond these superstars. It goes to every kid who gets to play, to every parent who gets to watch, to the safe spaces, to work out, hang out, and just have fun. Because when we invest where we live, we invest in each other. And that’s how we build Brampton strong for all and Canada strong for all.

Prime Minister Carney breaks ground on Nouveau Monde Graphites Matawinie Mine in Québec – the largest graphite mine in the G7

In an increasingly divided and uncertain world, Canada’s new government is focused on what we can control. We are building a stronger, more independent, more resilient economy – an economy built on the solid foundation of strong Canadian industries and workers.

To that end, Canada’s new government launched theMajor Projects Office(MPO) last year to get major infrastructure projects – new ports, mines, trade and energy corridors – built faster. In six months, Canada’s new government has referred 22 projects and transformative strategies to the MPO worth over $126billion in investment, including Nouveau Monde Graphite’s (NMG) Matawinie Mine in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, Québec.

Today, the Prime Minister, MarkCarney, announced that construction is starting on this transformative project just six months after its referral to the Major Projects Office.Once completed, the Matawinie Mine project will be the largest graphite mine in North America, andin the G7 – supplying up to 106,000 tonnes annually.Graphite is anindispensable component for electric vehicle batteries, energy storage systems, advanced manufacturing, and defence and aerospace technologies. With global demand rapidly outpacing supply,the Matawinie Mine will help position Canada as the reliable partner of choice forAsia, Europe, and beyond.

The Matawinie Minewillcreate more than 1,000 new jobs from engineering to the skilled trades, attract nearly $2billion in investment into our economy, and support lower emissions.

NMG will integrate the mine with a battery material plant in Bécancour, Québec, becoming Canada’s first integrated graphite operation – from extraction to refinery.Both the Matawinie Mine and the processing facilities will operate primarily on Québec’s low‑cost, renewable hydroelectricity, enabling an all‑electric production model that significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional graphite supply chains. This integrated, low‑carbon approach will reduce reliance on higher‑emitting foreign sources.

By building more of the critical minerals value chain here at home, Canada will strengthen our battery and automotive sectors, reduce reliance on concentrated foreign sources of graphite, and position Canada as a reliable supplier of responsibly sourced graphite materials.

To ensure this transformative project was built, the MPO convened four federal departments and agencies to coordinate financing support, commercial arrangements, and permitting and approval processes, and secure offtake agreements for the company – including federal government stockpiling. This has helped the company reach a final investment decision less than six months after the project was referred to MPO.This is a nation-building project that will make Canada stronger – more secure, sustainable, and independent.

Quotes

“Canada has what the world wants – and we’re moving at speed to get it to market. The Matawinie Mine will position Canada as a choice supplier of graphite in a world where demand is rapidly outpacing supply. It will create more than a thousand good career opportunities, strengthen our supply chains, and build a stronger, more competitive, more independent Canadian economy for all.”

“By unlocking Canada’s rich graphite resources, we are strengthening domestic supply chains and making it easier for Canadian industries to access the materials they need to grow and compete. This work helps ensure Canadians capture more value from our resources here at home and supports good jobs across the country.”

“Today, Canada is delivering on its commitment to get major projects built, strengthening our position as an energy superpower and supporting the strongest economy in the G7. In November, we referred the Matawinie Mine to the Major Projects Office, and six months later, construction is underway to bring Québec graphite to markets at home and abroad. This project will support advanced manufacturing, clean technology, and defence supply chains, while creating good jobs and long-term economic opportunities for Canadians. Shovels are in the ground, and our plan is working.”

“Critical minerals like graphite are at the heart of the clean technologies that will power our future. By advancing projects like the Matawinie Mine, we are supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy, strengthening resilient supply chains, and ensuring Canada remains a global leader in clean growth.”

“The groundbreaking of our Matawinie Mine marks a defining milestone in NMG’s journey to responsibly produce the materials powering the energy transition and tomorrow’s industries. This achievement reflects the steadfast collaboration of our partners, the trust of local and Indigenous communities, and the shared commitment to sustainable development. We are also grateful for the continued support of the Government of Canada, whose financial investment is set to support the advancement of our electrification strategy and strengthens Canada’s leadership in the integrated critical minerals value chain. Together, we are laying the foundation for a cleaner, more resilient future.”

“Seeing construction move forward at the Matawinie Mine is an important milestone and a clear signal of progress following our financing commitment, which Export Development Canada (EDC) was pleased to lead. At EDC, our role is to deploy strategic risk capital to help advance projects that matter for Canada’s long‑term economic resilience. Projects like Matawinie are strengthening domestic supply chains, creating high‑quality jobs, and supporting the growth of a competitive, end‑to‑end critical minerals ecosystem that will be essential to the industries shaping Canada’s future.”

“It’s exciting to see construction begin at Nouveau Monde Graphite’s Matawinie Mine, just months after the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s (CIB) financing commitment. The CIB is helping to unlock new, large-scale projects across Canada – projects that create jobs, strengthen our economic competitiveness, and reinforce leadership in the industries that will define the future.”

Quick facts

  • The Government of Canada has entered into a seven-year offtake agreement for 30,000 tonnes annually of graphite concentrate from the Matawinie Mine, helping strengthen secure and reliable critical minerals supply chains for Canada and its partners. The offtake protects NMG from market variation at a critical time, while securing national graphite supply for Canada.
    • The government will further support the project through a $459million financing package from Export Development Canada and the Canada Infrastructure Bank,helping provide certainty to investors and accelerate constructionwhile advancing Canada’s strategic interests.This builds on a $113million strategic commitment from the Canada Growth Fund (CGF), following the CGF’s previous $35.6 million commitment announced in December 2024 as part of a broader $411million financing package alongside Eni S.p.A., Investissement Québec, and public equity financing.
  • Canada’s new government will provide $4.4million through Natural Resources Canada’s Energy Innovation Program to deploy an electric-powered Caterpillar950GC loader at the mine, replacing diesel-powered heavy equipment.
  • In 2024, theConseil desAtikamekw deManawan signed an Impact Benefit Agreement with Nouveau Monde Graphite that will enhance collaboration on aspects related to Atikamekw culture, the environment, training, employment, business opportunities, and financial benefits. The agreement sets out the significant participation of the Conseil desAtikamekw deManawan to responsibly develop graphite in the Nitaskinan in a way that respects the environment and provides direct benefits to the community.
  • The Matawinie Mine was included in the first round of announcements under the Critical Minerals Production Alliance, a Canada-led initiativelaunched at the 2025 G7 Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, to strengthen and diversify responsible critical minerals supply chains.
  • Since the launch of the G7 Critical Minerals Production Alliance, Canada has announced 56 investments and partnerships to unlock more than $18billion in capital investment for critical minerals projects.
