Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's good to be here with the committee. Thank you for allowing me to sub in for Laurel Collins, my colleague.
Thank you to the witnesses for your testimony. It's been very interesting.
Mr. Breton, you mentioned that you live in a rural area and you drive an electric vehicle. I also live in rural northern British Columbia and drive a Chevy Bolt through the winter. It's working out really well for my family and me, so thanks for sharing your story.
I have a bunch of questions, but maybe I'll start with Mr. Breton. I have a question about Canada being left behind in the manufacturing of zero-emission vehicles. Obviously, this is a growing market and our auto sector could use the jobs now more than ever. What does it say about the industrial strategy that we need as a country if we're going to capitalize on this opportunity?
