Under those charges, Volkswagen essentially lied to the Government of Canada about the emissions their cars were producing. They installed what are called defeat devices in approximately 130,000 diesel vehicles imported into Canada.
The Government of Canada has now embarked on a new agreement with Volkswagen, despite an order from this committee and the Parliament of Canada. The Department of Industry is in breach of that parliamentary order to provide us with a copy of that contract. Essentially, they lied to this committee that they would do so. We are now without information about how much money the Government of Canada has given Volkswagen.
That said, are you aware of any other car company that has breached the Environmental Protection Act in Canada?
