Good afternoon, everyone.
My question is for Mr. Zaghib.
Generally speaking, we anticipate a relative, even significant, increase in demand for electric vehicles. Electric cars are more and more popular and people are increasingly talking about them.
Canada is investing extensively in the electrification of public transportation. For example, tax measures are being introduced to promote electric vehicle purchases.
According to some stakeholders, however, Canada should do more to ensure that the entire supply chain and economy benefit from that increasing demand. I'm thinking, for example, of Matthew Fortier, president and CEO of Accélérer, a coalition of Canadian industry players. He isn't alone in thinking that Canada has wasted a lot of time and that the current strategy should have been in place long ago.
Is Canada lagging behind other countries?
