I appreciate that. Unfortunately, we've had, and still have it would seem, particular parties and members of Parliament who deny the existence of climate change and global warming and the effect that human activity is having; hence, we're a bit late to the party when it comes to the issue of putting a price on pollution. This government has ensured that we're getting there.
Mr. Elgie, I want to come to you on a matter relating to the issue you just raised, but a bit different. Yesterday we heard from Dale Marshall of Environmental Defence Canada. He raised the idea that Canada ought to legislate a move towards the purchasing of electric vehicles such that auto manufacturers, by a certain year—let's say 2025, as they suggested—would be selling 25% of their vehicles as electric vehicles. I asked him for examples of other jurisdictions that have done this. He cited Norway and a few other examples.
I have a very open mind on this. I'm not very familiar with this, but you are. You've made the environment your focus. Is this doable? Is this realistic? Should we be having this conversation in Canada?
