Like the other witnesses, I think emphasis should be placed on heavy trucks over the short term. That is sort of my favourite subject. I can volunteer to carry out a prefeasibility study. It is very well to say that focus will be placed on heavy trucks, but how can that be done?
I am very familiar with the trucking industry. I think conversations must be had with key industry players to understand their needs and their reservations about electric trucks. They must be convinced that hydrogen is a solution. All this will not happen on its own. Demonstration projects must be developed, like the one carried out in Alberta. I have spoken to the president of Trimac, and he would be more than happy to carry out the same kind of an experiment in the Montreal–Toronto corridor. I think that is where we should start.
The government can play a role, along with other industry partners, to encourage those kinds of experiments and demonstration projects. It must be understood that people naturally have reservations about hydrogen. They think it is dangerous and don't believe in it. That is why these kinds of projects must be carried out.
