Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Breton, I want to ask you about economies of scale and how they play into this whole picture.
We've heard a lot about the price of electric vehicles. I agree that price is one of the barriers that might prevent people from buying a new electric vehicle, although I think if you look at it from a full-cost accounting perspective and count in the maintenance costs and the low operating costs of using these vehicles, the price is at least a wash, if not in favour, of EVs.
This seems to me like a change that's going to happen inevitably. These vehicles are cheaper to run and they're more fun to drive, especially the light-duty category. Are we simply just talking about priming the pump with these incentives?
To what degree could the incentives actually be temporary once the market size gets big enough to drive down price by itself because we have that economy of scale?
Could you speak to that?
