Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'll ask Ms. Kyriazis from Clean Energy Canada to answer the following question.
At our first meeting last week, we heard from representatives of Electric Mobility Canada, who were calling for the introduction of tendering, in other words, the possibility of changing the way public sector contracts are awarded, based on environmental criteria. We even know that, according to studies, this would pass the test of international trade law. Currently, trying to negotiate exceptions could be problematic, since the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, CUSMA, does not contain a chapter on government procurement, unlike the North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, which did.
Having a call for tenders based on the environment would pass the test and, what's more, it would no doubt allow many of our companies to come out on top, particularly in terms of U.S. government contracts.
Do you think that's a way forward?
