采礦業(yè)仍然是加拿大經(jīng)濟(jì)的基石。它為加拿大GDP貢獻(xiàn)了400億美元，雇傭了35萬(wàn)人，支付了135億美元的稅收和特許權(quán)使用費(fèi)，占加拿大出口的19%，為3140家供應(yīng)商公司帶來(lái)了業(yè)務(wù)。該行業(yè)在城市、農(nóng)村和偏遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)創(chuàng)造價(jià)值，其產(chǎn)品對(duì)現(xiàn)代生活和混合動(dòng)力汽車、太陽(yáng)能和輕質(zhì)材料等清潔能源技術(shù)的出現(xiàn)至關(guān)重要。

The mining industry remains a cornerstone of the Canadian economy. It contributes $40 billion to the country’s GDP, employs 350,000 people, pays about $13.5 billion in taxes and royalties, accounts for 19 % of Canada’s exports and generates business for 3,140 supplier companies. The industry creates value in urban, rural and remote regions, and its products are fundamental to modern life and to the emergence of clean energy technologies such as hybrid vehicles, solar power and lightweight materials.
