I was at a major manufacturer two days ago that has production in Canada as well. I had a conversation with their CEO. As that person put it, they're currently taking a bet on the future—on the next year. They are having to order parts and vehicles for either production or sales in Canada. They're having to bet on the future because they do not have certainty on what is exactly happening.
Yes, the Prime Minister has announced that the EVAS will be gone. However, right now, it is not gone. That leads to companies that are publicly traded having to disclose potential risks in the quarterly numbers they publish. This is the real-life aspect we currently have. If, all of a sudden, the repeal of the EVAS is now delayed until we have a good next step on a greenhouse gas emissions framework.... That's going to take some time. It's going to take somewhere from six months to a year.
The EVAS needs to be repealed now. Then, yes—absolutely—initiate discussions on what the greenhouse gas emissions framework is going to look like.
