The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) has lobbied the federal government during its nationwide prebudget consultations to take action and improve the flow of capital to the junior exploration sector, as well as to address the infrastructure deficit in northern and remote Canada. According to the PDAC, financing for exploration had fallen more than 90% since 2007, underlining the importance of policy tools that encouraged investment in exploration and ensured that the money raised was spent in Canada.
