I'll also start with the emission standards.
Look, we're at a turning point anyhow. In the U.S., the EPA final rule rescinding the endangerment finding repeals federal GHG emission standards for all vehicles and engines from 2012 to 2027 and beyond, along with associated reporting and compliance programs. That goes into effect in four days.
Our own emission standards point to the EPA by reference, because we think of ourselves as a unified market. The consequence is dramatic. No Canadians asked for or voted on this, but clearly we're going to have zero choice.
My question is, are we going to build cars for Americans with no emission standards and sell those here? Is the plan to become the world's dirtiest car factory? We can all admit that as electrification rises globally, we need to at the very least diversify and then make the most of Canada's natural assets, not only in critical minerals and clean electricity but also in research. We have one of the world's foremost battery researchers in the world in Halifax, Nova Scotia. At this point, we really have no choice with the trend that is happening south of the border.
