The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that the federal government is not offering incentives to win back Nutrien's port investment of up to $1-billion in the United States, instead hoping Ottawa's focus on transport infrastructure will change the fertilizer giant's decision to build south of the border. The Globe's Kate Helmore writes that Minister of Transport Steven MacKinnon hopes Saskatoon-based Nutrien will change its mind, but he said he did not think the decision would hinge on "sweeteners or incentives." Regardless, the minister said the move is not a total loss, vowing during an event at the Vancouver Board of Trade that it will serve as an "incentive for us all to make sure it never happens again." On Nov. 19, Nutrien announced plans to build an export terminal with capacity for five million to six million tonnes of potash a year in Longview, Wash. The company had been scouting sites across the Pacific Northwest for more than a year. Locations up for consideration included Canadian deep-sea ports with rail access. The Port of Prince Rupert and the Port of Vancouver fit the criteria. The Carney government has promised to incentivize capital spending in critical minerals and double non-U.S. exports.
