Well, I would say that we really welcomed the policy on the whole. For the first time in a very long time, we have seen different departments working together rather than in silos, and that changes everything.
We have often said to people at the Department of Transport and at Environment, Industry and Natural Resources that we didn't just want regulatory announcements, but rather announcements about infrastructure and the manufacturing sector to provide consistency in policies. That is something that should be done more often, by the way.
The reality is that we sense there is some momentum right now. I can say that because I've had discussions with some members of Electric Mobility Canada, who told me that after the federal government's announcement, it didn't take weeks for orders to start coming in again, but just a few hours, including for charging infrastructure. We can see that it has a real impact.
In terms of EV sales, I'm sure that when you look at the numbers for the second and third quarters of 2026, you'll see that they have started climbing again, especially since the government has announced that EV purchase rebates will decrease over time, from $5,000 to $4,000, $3,000 and then $2,000, to make things predictable for dealers, manufacturers and consumers.
Predictability and affordability are what we need, and that is something that is sorely lacking these days in the rest of the industry and in the rest of society.
