I want to expand a bit on where Mr. Baldinelli was going.
It seems to me that we're in a very reactive space in Canada on a lot of these issues. We don't have a cohesive strategy to deal with the myriad of issues coming up, whether it's manufacturing vehicles or manufacturing steel.
We're talking about the IRA. To me, it raises these questions: Does Canada need a far more focused approach to all these issues to preserve manufacturing in this country? Do we need a real strategy from the government on EV manufacturing, a critical mineral strategy, an energy strategy that keeps energy affordable and a strategy on affordability? You were talking about the OBPS and these kinds of things.
At the environment committee, I asked whether Canada had costed out the EV structure to build the EV network across Canada. I was told, no, they haven't done it. Where's the long-term thinking?
Catherine, Brian and Matt, would you comment on that? I think it's critical that the government revise how it's doing this piecemeal stuff and come up with a robust strategy to preserve Canadian industry.
