Yes, we certainly are aware that the heavy-duty vehicle sector is a very significant source of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. Of the emissions from the transport sector, it accounts for 35% of those emissions. It's certainly an area that needs to be addressed. There are a number of challenges and barriers that are unique to this sector. Certainly, one is the significant cost of the purchase of these vehicles. Another is that the technology is still very much in a development phase. While there are more and more models coming online, particularly for the return-to-base segment and shorter haul, there still remains a significant technology gap for long-haul, heavy-duty vehicles. There are barriers that need to be addressed across the spectrum. There's also the question of the availability of fuelling infrastructure, and also the development of necessary codes and standards. We continue to look at all of these areas. At this point it would be premature to comment on potential solutions the government may choose to bring forward.
