In terms of service diversification, we are increasingly offering services at post offices, including postal banking and Service Canada. We really want to reinvent the post office.
With respect to the Liberals Greening Government Strategy, they use the word “encourage” when they talk about Crown corporations. That's where we see a lack of leadership. What does “encourage” mean? Are they fully funding the energy transition, or is it a little pat on the back with a postcard that says, “You can do it”?
We want to make the case today that this strategy lacks teeth. Crown corporations must be included in the stimulus package, and clear and specific language is needed to do so. That's really what we want. That's really the symbol and the signal that needs to be sent.
When Mr. McTeague says to wait and move incrementally, I'm a little taken aback. You heard from Mr. Breton, from Electric Mobility Canada. He painted an interesting picture of the situation. He said that the electrification of transportation should not be seen as an expense, but as an investment. He emphasized that we should not miss the boat, that Europe and Asia were positioning themselves and that this was also the case for our partners, the Americans.
Let's move towards electrification of transportation, but in order to do so, let's use our largest Crown corporation. Installing nine charging stations does not send a strong message to industry about where we need to go.
