Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here, Mr. Gervais. My first question is for you.
We know that Lion Electric is a strong symbol in the forefront of the Quebec and Canadian economy.
Your president, Marc Bédard, said in an interview that priority should be given to buying locally, that Canada loses out when the minerals extracted to produce the cells are exported to Asia for processing and then returned to North America. He added, “It's the worst of all worlds.”
Can you tell us more about the way you see things and your fears?
