Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to start by thanking all the witnesses. In particular, I want to let Ms. Potter know just how aware we are of the challenges that our tourism industry workers face and continue to face. I certainly appreciate everything she talked about in her presentation. Thank you very much.
My first question is for you, Mr. Breton. This isn't the first time I've heard you speak, and I'm always fascinated by what you have to say.
When people are considering purchasing an electric vehicle, certain factors can be barriers, whether it be vehicle autonomy, the environmental impact of the battery or the quality of the charging infrastructure.
Are those factors truly barriers for the EV industry? If so, how do we get rid of them?
Also, tell us more about what role the government can play in changing people's perceptions.
