This ministerial visit highlights the potential role of First Phosphate's high-purity igneous phosphate project in Canada's energy transition and in the sustainable development of a North American supply chain for lithium iron phosphate ("LFP") batteries. These batteries are essential to the future of North America's energy storage, mobility, data centre, robotics, and defence sectors.
Mr. Guay is Member of Parliament for LaSalle-Émard-Verdun and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources. Mr. Simard is Member of Parliament for Jonquière and Vice-Chair of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources, Canada. Mr. Martel is Member of Parliament for Chicoutimi-Le Fjord and member of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources, Canada.
Mr. Guay stated: "As Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, and a Quebec MP, I know this province and this country has what we need to leverage our natural resources into the strongest economy in the G7. Quebec has long been a leader in clean tech and sustainable mining, and I look forward to the Saguenay region continuing to show leadership and innovation."
Mario Simard stated: "I am delighted with the constructive discussions we had today regarding the First Phosphate project. This is a promising initiative, and today's meeting follows the presentation made to the Minister last June in Ottawa. The phosphate industry is on the right track and is fully in line with our region's economic diversification objectives. Now we must continue our work to ensure that the project can benefit from federal programs supporting critical minerals."
Richard Martel added: "I support the development of First Phosphate, a company that sees beyond simply operating a mine. It is this VISION that will enable us to develop phosphate and our critical minerals to their full potential."
