The Critical Minerals International Alliance was delighted to partner with the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Research Council to welcome the Honourable Jeremy Harrison, Minister of Trade and Export Development, and Minister of Immigration and Career Training in London, United Kingdom for a breakfast networking reception with industry leaders.
“Not only do you have a transparent process […] but you have very strong public support for investment in this sector. There is a very large amount of employment that is a direct result of this for Saskatchewan people and consequently, you really do have strong support, including in indigenous communities.” Hon. Jeremy Harrison
