I have somewhat of a conflict of interest because I myself drive a subcompact. The program certainly targets very small vehicles through a criterion that means that, in practical terms, there is only one choice. Would it not be helpful, for the second generation of the program in 2008-2009, if the integrated plan you spoke of allowed the purchase of a family vehicle, a minivan or any other kind of vehicle as long as their results are good in the future?
Purchasers of large cars will not necessarily embrace smaller ones, but some activities are perhaps not sufficiently covered by the current policy. I mentioned the family car, but I could also be talking about the need, in a rural constituency like mine, for such and such a type of work vehicle.
Would a future approach be to reduce fuel consumption rather than just favouring one specific make of vehicle?
