CBC Manitoba: Manitoba 2nd-last in dollars devoted to mining, energy & forestry projects, federal inventory says

January 23, 2025 — 

Robert Parsons, an instructor in sustainability economics at the University of Manitoba’s Asper School of Business, questioned the methodology of the annual inventory by Natural Resources Canada even as he stated the report is otherwise useful.

Parsons said the inventory does not include some Manitoba projects that are close to proceeding but does suggest this province could be doing more, especially in terms of developing renewable energy and mining critical minerals.

“We’re being dissed, a little bit,” Parsons said Wednesday in an interview. “It is not a damnation-type report for us, but it is cautionary.”
