Thank you, Madam Chair.
Certainly while the incentives for a zero-emissions vehicle program do currently focus on new vehicle sales, we recognize there's an opportunity to make zero-emission vehicles more accessible to all Canadians. We also capture the used zero-emission vehicle market, and this was mentioned in ministerial mandate letters.
About 60% of vehicles acquired annually are done through the secondary market, so Transport Canada is currently exploring options to expand the program to include used vehicles.
