FREDERICTON - New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt is holding a news availability on the heels of Prime Minister Mark Carney's announcement of the latest group of projects being submitted for fast-tracking consideration.
A tungsten mine in Sisson Brook, N.B., is on the list, as is a nickel mine in northern Ontario, a hydroelectric project in Iqaluit, a transmission line and an LNG project both in northwest British Columbia and a graphite mine in Quebec.
Tungsten is an exceptionally strong metal used in steel production for military and mining equipment, and for storing energy.Â
The federal government says tungsten markets are highly concentrated, and this project has the potential to make Canada a reliable supplier of the critical mineral to domestic and international partners while creating hundreds of new jobs.Â
Carney and Holt teased federal support for a major project in the province on Monday.Â
The pair met in Holt’s downtown Fredericton office, before Carney toured the warehouse of a prefabricated home manufacturing company where he held a news conference to highlight Ottawa's buy-ºÃÉ«tv policy.Â
During a separate news conference in the afternoon, Holt said she advocated for support for mining projects, modular housing, upgrades on the Port of Saint John and Port of Belledune, and the Eastern Energy Partnership, which could link energy systems across Atlantic Canada and beyond.Â
