It's very exciting to know that Edison now has its national emissions mark authorization. This is a big step in our business, because now the department sees us as very much understanding the current regulations and being able to apply a mark onto our vehicles once they are ready for sale.
The next step would be to submit letters. They're called C-Us. One is for the vehicle itself, which I can only submit once I get the national emissions mark. With that hurdle behind us, I look forward to submitting this soon.
Furthermore, because of our hybrid engines—in this case it's a Scania 9-litre that we get from Sweden, which is EPA certified—I have to submit another letter of C-U for this particular engine. This essentially describes all of its basic fundamentals, its GHG emissions and some more information on specifications, which is different from what you need to do for a traditional truck. If it's already a compliant engine, I don't need to submit that letter. It is an additional layer or step that I need to comply with, but I'm more than happy to do so.
I really want to tell the committee that Environment Climate Change Canada staff have been incredible to work with, especially after all this publicity caused throughout this issue we're having, and we're getting incredible support. I'm really happy to bring the committee some recommendations they've made to try to address this issue with this amendment to the regulation. We're really pleased by this, and I hope to continue to work really well with the ECCC as we get permission.
