Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
We're going to stay on the same topic. I hesitated before asking you my question, Mr. Sweeney, but I really liked what my colleague brought up, so I'd like to continue the discussion on that. You will probably help me think this through.
Last March, I had the opportunity to go to Norway. You know that, over the past year, all the new vehicles sold in Norway have been electric vehicles.
Chinese electric cars, for example, account for about 10% of sales in Norway. There are no restrictions. It is largely the consumers who decide. Consumers just prefer other cars, probably cars like the ones you produce. I can't quite figure that out.
You also said that the Norwegians had to invest here. I agree with you. Your contribution is essential to Canada. However, I can't tell whether the Norwegian model, which lets consumers choose, could be replicated here.
Could you shed some light on that for me?
