Expanding Uranium Production Under The Nuclear Energy Strategy For Canada

On June 22, 2026, the Government of Canada released the Nuclear Energy Strategy for Canada (the Strategy). Among various commitments to enable the construction of new nuclear reactors, enhance Canada’s presence as a global nuclear supplier and exporter, and support Canada’s long-term nuclear waste management strategy, Canada made commitments to support the expansion of the uranium mining industry. With the highest-grade uranium stores in the world, Canada is well-positioned to expand domestic production and become a leader in uranium and nuclear fuel exports.

1. enabling new builds across Canada;
2. being a global supplier and exporter of choice;
