The primary goal of this report is to map Canadian regulations governing disclosure in the extractive industries. Focusing on resource and reserve data; payments to host governments; contracts and licenses; and environmental, social, and governance factors.

This report seeks to identify the type information that must be made publicly available by Canadians companies, focusing on the differences in disclosure between the mineral and the oil and gas sectors and between large and small companies. The report also aims to situate Canadian disclosure laws within a broader discussion of securities regulation in Canada, stock exchange requirements, and Canadian accounting procedures. Importantly, the report provides insights into which bodies create regulations and how they are created, with the aim of identifying regulatory development processes that NGOs and other civil society organizations can engage with.
