In 2023, the Ontario government introduced the Building More Mines Act (Bill 71), a bold legislative reform aimed at revitalizing the province’s mining sector and asserting its role in the global race for critical minerals. With global supply chains under strain, surging demand for electric vehicle (EV) components, and intensifying international competition, Ontario is positioning itself as a key player in the future of mineral production. So while the government and the industry as a whole see Bill 71 as a pivotal move toward economic opportunity, critics warn it may compromise environmental standards and Indigenous rights. As Ontario moves forward, stakeholders are watching closely to see whether the act will strike the right balance between development and responsibility.
