Celebrating Quebec’s –and the globe’s– chief scientist - CSPC During my 40 plus years in science policy, I have had the pleasure of working with many science advisors and ministers. They came from diverse backgrounds often with a mix of public communication and political skills. During this trajectory, it was a rewarding experience for me to learn about the craft and art of science

Science advice is an art. This editorial by FACETS Senior Editor Paul Dufour from the 2025 Canadian Science Policy Centre shows why it matters. https://ow.ly/sMxT50XAacF

Locations of impact assessment (IA)-assessed projects within the database of mines, categorized by the material class of each proposed development. Projects surrounded by a red outline completed a federal IA instead of, or in addition to, a provincial or territorial IA process. Reported sample sizes are for unique projects (n = 227). Underlying orange polygons are subsurface tenures classified as “active” in each jurisdiction, as of 31 December 2024.

How sustainable are mining and quarrying practices in Canada? This study from our critical minerals collection uncovers trends in environmental assessments nationwide.
