With respect to the question about zero-emission vehicle regulations, we note that provinces and territories with stringent regulations, such as Quebec, a forerunner in this area, and British Columbia, are the most successful in terms of sales. These regulatory mechanisms create obligations for zero-emission vehicle sales. As a result, vehicle producers, dealers and manufacturers are obligated to make such vehicles available.
The reason countries like Norway manage to have electric vehicles account for 80% to 90% of sales is because they have obligations to do so. If you don't force the car industry to do this, they will just take the subsidies that are given to them and not respond to the request. So it is necessary to impose such constraints. We strongly encourage the completion of the ongoing process of establishing zero-emission vehicle regulations for all of Canada.
With respect to public transit, we note that it is more popular in Montreal, where it is at 70% of pre-pandemic ridership. On the other hand, the utilization rate of bridges and roads is at 115% to 120%, compared with before. So we're seeing that a lot of people who were using public transit before the pandemic have not returned to their pre-pandemic habits. That affects public transit companies' revenues, of course, but it also affects congestion and pollution. Congestion also affects the economy. If we want to make long-term gains, we need to support public transit not just in the short term, but also in the long term.
