Thank you, Madam Chair.
My questions are for Mr. Breton.
First of all, thank you for accepting the committee's invitation. It's an honour to have you participate in the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology's study of a green recovery.
As you probably know, my car is fully electric. One of the reasons I decided to purchase it was to add to the fleet of vehicles. Along the lines of your recommendation, I wanted to encourage the expansion of charging infrastructure availability and the uptake of electric transportation programs. One statistic, in particular, I found quite compelling: electric vehicle owners trigger the environmental benefit once they have driven 80,000 kilometres.
What is the lifespan of an electric vehicle versus a gas-powered vehicle?
