Yes. Right now, we don't have dedicated resources. We need dedicated resources in the federal government to convene industry. We need utilities, regulators, provincial stakeholders, manufacturers, automakers and everyone else to come together. What we really need to look at are three pillars, which need to happen in parallel. We need to harmonize the technical frameworks, make business cases and structure a pilot through evidence gathering. All three pillars will require funding and national coordination to unlock this opportunity.
Related to the last question you asked, we just released a new study here at Electro-Federation Canada. It's about building Canada's electricity system. It's a supply chain and policy road map.
How much we need to expand the grid is directly correlated to how successful we are in modernizing the grid. This includes smart-grid technology such as vehicle-to-grid. If we modernize the grid to be more efficient and to utilize and extract more value from the current system we have, we'll need to build less of that grid. This is why it's such urgent work. As EVs come online, we need to ensure that we are modernizing the grid. The more modernized our grid, the less we need to build and the less money we need to spend.
Right now, the biggest problem is that we can't deploy these technologies at the speed we need to. That's what needs to be done by convening industry at a federal level.
