Book Description

This report provides an overview of the federal, provincial and territorial policy initiatives from 1985-89. The report covers only changes and new activities introduced over the five years, rather than ongoing and unaltered programs. Policies still in the development stage were included only if they were already in the process of public discussion. Oil and gas, except for oil sands, are excluded. Policy initiatives are listed by province and for the federal government, with a separate listing for federal policy initiatives North of 60. For each area, information is given on mineral-related task forces and studies, assistance initiatives, regulation, and trade initiatives.
