Yes, if I may.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce recently released a report on Canada's commitment to net zero and how we get to our 2050 goal in an orderly fashion. I'd be happy to share that report with the committee after our discussion today.
Similarly, we have an upcoming report focused on critical minerals. It is focused on addressing every section of our supply chain, from upstream exploration and extraction to downstream manufacturing and recycling. We're going to be developing a number of recommendations in each of those areas. Those will be released in early December. Again, I'd be happy to share those findings with the committee.
However, whether it's looking at net zero or critical minerals, life sciences or digital economy, when the chamber examines these potential areas for growth, there are always two themes that crop up that impede Canada's ambitions to grow: access to capital and access to labour.
The Government of Canada is already making great strides in access to capital through investments made by the Canada Infrastructure Bank, through the SIF, and most recently through the clean fuels fund, but at the end of the day, when we're looking at net zero alone, we're looking at a $2-trillion price tag for Canada to decarbonize. We really need to start getting serious about the true costs behind not only extracting and processing critical minerals but also decarbonizing our economy.
It's similar with labour. We're already facing labour shortages, which makes it really hard to attract investments in Canada, so we need to start developing that green job strategy I mentioned in my opening remarks.
