Thank you, Madam Chair.
My question will be for Mr. Paterson of General Motors.
Like my colleague Mr. Lemire, I own a Chevrolet. I don't own the Bolt, but the Volt. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with it. Someday, I'm going to switch to the Bolt.
I believe it was you who mentioned the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement earlier. In any event, we were talking about the auto industry and there was some discussion about it. We can see that there are provisions in this agreement regarding original content, which must be North American. In the Bloc Québécois, we fought for aluminum. According to the trend, parts will now be made of aluminum. The auto sector is tending more and more toward self-sufficiency.
Now, I would like to raise the issue of energy. The electrical industry is the future of employment in Quebec. That seems clear. Would you be in favour of legislation to ensure that an increasing number of zero-emission electric vehicles are built?
California, which has the same population as Canada, has such a law in force, as do several states, and Quebec has had one for four years.
