This may be a question more for our colleagues at ISED, but I'll state the obvious: Canada finds itself in a North American marketplace. Historically, we've been highly integrated with the U.S. automotive market. North America has a unique set of features regarding its automotive market. It is not like other automotive markets. North Americans tend to buy much larger vehicles than we see consumers buying in Europe and South America, for example. There are some unique attributes to the North American marketplace.
Generally speaking, I think we can conclude that—and, certainly, even the automotive sector will tell you this—electrification is viewed as an unstoppable long-term trend. The question is how fast Canada should go there and how fast we can do that in a North American market, where we have some countervailing forces, as you know, right now, in the short term.
I think it's not a question of “if”; it's a question of how fast we should transition there.
