Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My first questions are for you, Mr. Bradley.
I doubt that you, as CEO of Electricity Canada, and your members focus on green electricity production, that is, renewable energy that is as carbon-neutral as possible. On a Bloc Québécois initiative, this committee conducted a study and drafted a report about potential federal legislation on carbon neutrality that would require car manufacturers to offer a minimum number of electric vehicles. If we want people to buy them, there has to be some availability, but that is often not the case.
In the last budget, the government undertook to set up charging stations for electric vehicles along major highways, and in short order. One of the deterrents for people interested in buying an electric vehicle is precisely access to charging stations, which can still be problematic.
Firstly, are your organization and partners familiar with the federal government's plan to set up charging stations?
Secondly, were you consulted on the implementation of this plan?
