Thank you, Madam Chair.

I'd like to start with a question for Natural Resources Canada. One of the things that I've been reading about is that there's some consumer anxiety when it comes to the range of these vehicles—how far the batteries will last—especially in the winter. Are they going to have enough of a charge?

I know that Natural Resources Canada is undertaking a mass infrastructure program for mass EV adoption. What is your thinking on that range anxiety being one of the barriers to more adoption? What proposals do you have to limit that anxiety?
