Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Kingston, I just want to start with you. At one of our committee hearings, I put to Mr. Volpe something that you had said with respect to decoupling regulations with respect to autos in the United States. Mr. Volpe said:
While it may be attractive to create a bit of an island so that you can provide a narrative in Canada—a leadership narrative, noble as it is—it does put Canadian manufacturing at a disadvantage, because what will happen, which we've seen happen specifically, is that companies will either have to create a “subnational jurisdiction only” product or they'll pull the product.
You mentioned this—how we seem to be decoupling with the United States on zero-emission vehicle targets. How significant a problem is it if we do that? How many Canadian autos are exported to the United States and, therefore, how much would that be in effect if this decoupling continues?
