Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for a tremendous panel. It's always too short, but very informative.
Considering some of the topics we might be studying in future meetings, I might want to test a few with you to see what you have to say. One of them is around recent rulings on Volkswagen. As a co-chair of the automotive caucus, I'm always interested in how government and industry work together to protect the environment. That being said, on January 22, Volkswagen pleaded guilty to illegally importing vehicles equipped with defeat devices in contravention of our environmental protection laws. Similar jurisdictions like the U.S. and the EU moved more quickly on this issue than Canada did.
Could you talk about the process we follow in situations like this, where we need to investigate the charges on industry?
