As the world transitions to a net-zero future, the demand for critical minerals is soaring. These minerals are essential for clean energy technologies, electric vehicles, batteries, and other low-carbon innovations. But where will they come from? And who will supply them in a responsible and sustainable way? I believe that Canada and British Columbia has the answer. Our province is home to several critical minerals mines that could generate enormous economic and environmental benefits for Canada and the world. These projects are backed by a mining industry that has been a leader in environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices for decades. Canada has the technical expertise, the community support, and the government policies to make these projects a reality. We need to step out and show the world what we can offer. That's why I'm inviting you to join me and our team of experts Monica Banting, Mark Patterson, Sarah Marsh, Brooke Ko, CPA, CA and the whole mining team at PwC Canada, in a conversation about the BC mining industry and its role in the global critical minerals market. Let's talk about the opportunities and the obstacles, the solutions and the strategies, the vision and the values that will shape our industry for the future, so I invite you to read our BC Mine 2023 report and share with us your impressions, your comments and your ideas. Look forward hearing from your and working together to continue developing the best Mining Industry for Canada and for the world! #MininginCanada #PwCProud #Mining #ESG https://lnkd.in/gEcPYX_b

Expanding Canada’s Economic Vision: Beyond the Capital Gains Tax Debate The proposed increase in capital gains tax has garnered much attention, and rightly so, yet it’s also crucial to widen the discussion to encompass a more comprehensive vision for Canada’s economic future. The debate around capital gains tax should not overshadow factors that hinder our country's productivity. A dip in productivity limits our collective resources and risks capital flight to more vibrant economies. We must explore the broader elements that influence prosperity for Canadians: 1. Elevating Productivity: Championing policies that enhance productivity is essential. Practical steps like investing in digital infrastructure and upskilling our workforce are critical to solidify our economic foundation and improve our competitiveness globally. 2. Cultivating Innovation: Stimulating innovation and entrepreneurship goes beyond capital gains policy. It involves a strategic shift from foreign to local investment, fostering education relevant to the future economy, and supporting research and development (R&D). Celebrating Canadian success stories can inspire a new wave of innovators (Shopify & Lulelmon are great examples). 3. Stimulating Competition: A dynamic and competitive business environment is the bedrock of a robust economy and job creation. Implementing regulatory reforms and providing incentives for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can foster a healthier level of competition across industries. Our aim should be to empower Canadian-owned businesses to flourish, construct the next generation of companies, and ensure our tax dollars transition from administration to impact. Changing the conversation can start to drive awareness and change.
