Hudbay Minerals staff evacuate Flin Flon, Man., due to wildfires
TORONTO - Hudbay Minerals Inc. says its non-essential staff in the Flin Flon, Man., area are evacuating because of wildfires in the region.
The company says it hasn't been actively mining at its Flin Flon site since 2022, but it still runs care and maintenance work and also has services there to support its Snow Lake operation.
Saskatchewan and Manitoba have declared provincewide states of emergency to deal with the wildfires that, in Manitoba, has forced 17,000 residents to evacuate including 6,000 in and around the northwest city of Flin Flon.
Hudbay says the evacuation order because of wildfires will likely affect production at Snow Lake because a large portion of its staff live in Flin Flon, which sits about 200 kilometres west, but it still expects to reach its guidance for the year.
The company says it has also paused exploration activities in the Flin Flon and Snow Lake areas.
Hudbay says some emergency staff have been directed to help in the firefighting efforts, and it is securing additional accommodations in Snow Lake for employees and their family that had to leave.

Opposition MPs add call for a spring economic update to throne speech
OTTAWA - Government whip Mark Gerretsen insists nothing went wrong with a throne speech sub-amendment vote that now calls on the government to table an economic update before Parliament breaks for the summer. The Liberals were defeated 166 to 164 Monday evening after four Liberal MPs did not vote because of paired abstentions. 'Paired abstentions' happen when parties agree to have a member sit out a vote because someone from another party is not able to attend. The sub-amendment, tabled by interim Opposition leader Andrew Scheer, adds a passage to the throne speech that calls for some kind of spring economic update. It also says that update should include the government's plan to 'unleash Canada's economic potential' and explain how it will respect provincial jurisdiction and Indigenous rights. Government House leader Steven MacKinnon says this is a non-binding motion and the vote that really matters is the confidence motion tomorrow on adopting the throne speech.
