Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'm going to jump right in with Mr. Adams, because he did mention the urgency.
Mr. Adams, we had some of your colleagues here on November 1—Mr. Volpe, Mr. Poirier and Mr. Kingston, whom you know very well—and the consensus was that we needed an urgent response. My concern is that we had the fall economic statement, and I don't see the sense of urgency in the government's response.
You and your colleagues put out an automotive industry report card on the federal budget six months ago. The government has had six months to work on this. In the report card, you were talking about commitments to make a difference. I'm just wondering if you could update the committee on the fall economic statement.
It seems that Canada is always running behind in responding to the United States. Could you please comment on how we did with the fall economic statement in regard to things like the regulatory alignment with the United States; the commitment to building hydrogen fuelling infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles; eliminating the luxury tax; the commitment for building charging infrastructure in urban centres; and four million public charging stations?
How did the statement do in addressing the issues that you brought forth in your report card?
