With all due respect, Mr. Kingston, when I chat with people, I find that some are waiting six weeks or six months and are told they have to put a deposit down and will eventually get a car.
But there's a difference. When you have a family and are making a big investment decision, usually you want to test out a car. That possibility has not been available unless someone is willing to put money down. I recognize that there is some supply coming, but I also would simply say that it seems to me Canadian markets are being underserved by various product offerings.
I would like to ask the Canadian Electricity Association a question.
Mr. Bradley, you've raised a very interesting point. I've always wondered about the B.C. Utilities Commission's process. Their mandate is, if I have this correct—Ms. May can correct me later—“affordable power for generations”. They will literally not hold hearings to create new infrastructure unless there is sufficient demand for it. Usually, that is what has already been lagging. These projects take a long time to develop.
What aspects of those utilities commissions' processes need to be changed? Quite honestly, if you have to be hitting that load target in order to even open up a hearing to have a conversation about building new infrastructure to serve it, it seems to me that the system lags behind the market.
