It's a very good question that everyone is asking.
It would require major investments because electric vehicles aren't currently manufactured in Canada. So a business plan needs to be established but, first and foremost, we have to ensure that our market would support electric vehicles. That's the purpose of our recommendation today. If we want manufacturers to consider moving to Canada, we need to see this market grow significantly. At present, electric vehicles account for less than 1% of automobile sales. If we compare that result with 3% in California and 50% in Norway, there is much more fertile ground, and we need to take the lead required to interest manufacturers. So we're talking about a complete vehicle assembled here.
Many niche markets are experiencing incredible growth. Delivery trucks come to mind, for example, and all the components of an electric vehicle: the batteries, engines—we need only think of TM4, which exports electric motors to China—the software, the artificial intelligence that will be developed with self-driving vehicles, and more and more technologies. There are a lot of possibilities for components that can be added. All these industries are trying to export more because there are no manufacturers here at the moment.
The question is on the table and comes up often. I think the Canadian strategy will look at it from a future perspective. There would be huge benefits in doing so.
