Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses for being with us today.
I'd like to ask a general question as we begin. I gather from your testimony that neither of you have any desire to depend on the government for a rebate, and that you would prefer to have a basic exemption, because that would allow you to retain the means to carry out innovation.
Mr. Drouin said something similar. In order for the transition to happen, you have to do research and development. Mr. Ammeter, if there were a transition partnership investment program, I would imagine that industry would be very happy to participate. Is that correct?
