Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses. I just have one question.
I was in Israel last summer, and I went for a tour of the country. I also toured a Toyota plant, and I test drove an electric car, a Toyota car. It was fascinating. It's hard to tell that the engine's on when the engine's on, if it is an engine, I suppose.
At any rate, one thing that is happening in Israel with the technology is that they're actually building a string of stations across Israel. When you stop, you don't recharge the battery, you change the battery. When you buy the car, you lease the battery, more or less, over the lifespan of this vehicle.
I realize that the weather is a lot different in Canada than in Israel in terms of the amount of sunshine, but where is that technology here in this country versus Israel? Are we close at all in terms of this electric technology?
