Absolutely.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My question is for Mr. Smith, the representative of the Pembina Institute.

Today, General Motors announced that it will manufacture only zero-emission vehicles and that it will invest approximately $7 billion by 2025 in these types of vehicles. This suggests that the company believes that it can make a profit in this market.

Last week, the Quebec government announced that it will suspend the sale of gas-powered cars in 2035. What do you think of this announcement? Should other provinces or countries follow suit?
