Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Earlier, my colleague, Mr. Deltell, noted that he had bought a second-hand zero-emission vehicle in Quebec. I'd be remiss if I didn't note that his province of Quebec and my province of British Columbia are the only two provinces that have incentives in place for used zero-emission vehicles. It's appeared in two mandate letters for the federal Minister of Environment to put a federal incentive in place for used vehicles, yet we have seen nothing from this government. It seems like one of the things that could be done.
On the topic of government fleet vehicles, every day that I'm in the capital I walk from my office in Confederation Building up that little hill to West Block. Many days, I walk past a long line of black government SUVs that carry the ministers around to their various locations around town. I may be mistaken, but in the four years I've been here, I've noticed only one zero-emission vehicle that carries a minister of this government. That is the black Chevy Bolt that carries the Minister of Environment.
It would seem, for a government that at times seems fixated on optics over substance, that this wouldn't just be the low-hanging fruit; this is the lowest-hanging fruit. This is fruit you can pick lying on your back under the tree.
