She pressed for policy continuity that \u201ccannot be easily reversed\u201d to build long-term certainty, and called for accelerating mining approvals and reducing permitting delays so manufacturers can count on secure domestic inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dovgal also highlighted Indigenous-industry partnerships as part of a pragmatic pathway to economic reconciliation and
