RE:"Canada is a bit player in...Cobalt" Feb 1 G and M The harder it is to get mines producing in these countries just props up our case for the value we see in Sherritt as a online producing mine..
I say good, the price should be what encourages increased supply. If the world wants these minerals they need to pay a fair price for them. I am against government insentives. However, the red tape should be reduced for all things in general in this country.
Right now with our carbon pricing in Canada we are insetivising the outsourcing of our manufacturing. To make it fair we need to put a price on the carbon used in other countries to manufacture our goods (ie China). Otherwise we are just shifting demand for less carbon intensive Canadian products to demand for more carbon intensive Chinese products.
