  Nearly half of Canada's provinces and territories—specifically Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and Yukon—are urging the federal Liberal government to fulfill its 2025 election promise to expand the mineral exploration tax credit to include engineering and feasibility study costs. The Association for Mineral Exploration and the Nunavut and N.W.T. Chamber of Mines argue this measure is crucial to help junior mining companies navigate the late-stage 'valley of death' financing gap. An Ernst & Young report commissioned by the association indicates that covering feasibility and economic viability studies could generate between 14,000 and 34,000 jobs and add $5.2 billion to $12.2 billion in GDP over 10 years. While Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne's office highlighted recent federal initiatives such as the Productivity Mega Deduction and the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit, federal expenses under the Canadian exploration expenses framework still exclude economic assessments and feasibility studies.

  Canpotex has initiated a $500 million infrastructure investment project at the Neptune Bulk Terminals in the Port of Vancouver to upgrade equipment and expand supply chain capabilities for Saskatchewan potash exports. Attended by Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Canpotex President and CEO Gordon McKenzie, the expansion aims to support international shipments to over 40 overseas countries, including key markets in South America and the Indo-Pacific. The project supports Canada's national goal to double non-U.S. exports and strengthens global food security by facilitating the export of potash produced by Mosaic and Nutrien. In 2025, Saskatchewan potash exports reached a value of $9 billion, representing a 13.5 per cent increase compared to 2024.

  Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's stated plan to purchase potash from Belarus as unrealistic and unethical, labelling the product "blood potash" that supports Russian aggression in Ukraine. Following Trump's initial social media post regarding a potential discount trade deal with Belarus, the U.S. president subsequently clarified at the United Nations General Assembly that the United States will continue sourcing its potash from Canada. In 2024, nearly a third of the world's potash came from Canada, with all active production originating from 11 mines in Saskatchewan.
