I can attest to this, as I myself own an electric vehicle. I must admit that, in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, we still need to improve the supply of charging stations, especially for crossing the La Vérendrye wildlife reserve. In fact, we had the opportunity to discuss this a few times in the committee.
Mr. Breton, from 2017 to today, there have been several meetings between the United States and Canada to discuss, among other things, critical minerals and oil sands. In addition, the United States is leading a battle against Canada regarding the protectionist Build Back Better Act. In defence of the electric vehicle industry, particularly in Ontario, and all that we have to build in this sector, Ministers Ng and Freeland have sent a letter to Washington. However, this process seems to be very long and tedious, and relations with the Americans remain strained. What are your fears in this regard?
