We don't get involved in politics, so we'll let you be the judge of the right tools to make things happen.
Still, we were aware of the need for an approach that was firm and consistent from a business perspective, as well as constructive. That's why we're recommending a number of financial measures related, for example, to the ways that forest land is governed, where there is clearly room for improvement. We propose making envelopes available to the jurisdictions, the provinces, that would be willing to try new things. It's very much a carrot approach rather than a stick approach.
As for the workforce-related elements in our recommendations, we made sure to be mindful of partnerships and of co-operation to respect the agreements between the federal government and the provinces, as well as provincial leadership, including that of Quebec.
There are some thirty measures that we recommend implementing in the report. There is one that's naturally more sensitive regarding the eligibility of a jurisdiction, such as Quebec, for robust supply. I think we can do more than one thing at the same time. There are a lot of things that need to be implemented right now to improve the competitiveness, resilience and relevance of the forestry sector. Indeed, the home run here is that Quebec can get things moving quickly to ensure its eligibility for this significant capital that's on the table.
To conclude on the subject, I would say that when we talk about converting a newsprint mill, for example, it doesn't cost $20 million; it costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Newsprint mills play a stabilizing and critical role for the entire forestry industrial ecosystem. Yes, Investissement Québec is doing a good job in Quebec, but the Canadian government has to be able to follow suit.
Those are our recommendations.
