• Bill C-69, An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, as it pertains to natural resources.
• Canada Transportation Act (CTA) Review Report: As the Report's recommendations are being considered by the government, emphasize that the safeguards and precautions taken in the transport of uranium and nuclear products are sufficient to ensure their safe transport. Advocate that any changes to the Canada Transportation Act must ensure that Canada remain competitive in strategic industries like the nuclear energy sector by facilitating the continued transport of these goods via Canadian rail lines and ports.
• Sustainable Resource Development: Seek to ensure that any environmental legislative or regulatory modifications affecting resource development are grounded in the principles of science/evidence-based decision-making and efficiency of regulatory process. These include the potential review and amendment of legislation such as Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA), Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), SARA, the Fisheries Act and the Navigation Protection Act.

Policies or Program

• Canada's International Trade Policy: Encourage the completion and successful implementation of Nuclear Co-operation Agreements with countries that currently do not have such an agreement fully implemented with Canada and the amendment of existing Nuclear Co-operation Agreements with other countries and Canada. Encourage interim bilateral protocols to be established in the meantime that would facilitate safeguarded uranium trade to occur while permanent arrangements remain under negotiation.
• Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC): Seek to ensure that the regulatory process for uranium and nuclear energy development is as efficient as possible and results in decisions that are based on sound science.
• Duty to Consult: Encourage greater clarity in the requirements and responsibilities of the various parties involved in resource land development as it pertains to the Crown's Duty to Consult and other aboriginal-based rights including considerations or decisions related to the government's interpretation of "free, prior, informed consent" (FPIC) and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP).
• Foreign-Origin Nuclear Material (FONM): Advocate for the consideration of economic impacts on potential changes in the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's application of Canadian nuclear non-proliferation policy to exports of FONM.
• International Investment Protection: Encourage the negotiation and implementation of Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements and/or other bilateral investment treaties with countries that currently do not have such agreements in place with Canada to better protect the investments and holdings of Canadian companies and individuals in foreign jurisdictions.
• Low-carbon energy and Climate Change: Advocate for the federal government to include nuclear power as a major plank in Canada's greenhouse gas reduction strategy and to promote nuclear technology on the global stage as a positive option for combating climate change.
• National recovery strategy for the woodland caribou pursuant to the Species at Risk Act (SARA): Advocate for the federal government to incorporate additional science-based data and information into the finalized national recovery strategy for the woodland caribou.
• Non-Resident Ownership Policy: Advocate for the implementation of the policy changes recommended for uranium mining in the final report of the Competition Policy Review Panel.
