Thank you.
Thank you to the minister for being here. Thank you to the technical staff for sorting that out before this meeting ends. I wish everyone happy holidays.
I want to turn to the way we get ourselves around, cars or more forward-looking electric vehicles. Advocating for cleaner transport solutions and infrastructure for the residents of Brampton is important, not only for me, but for my children and future generations. I know the federal government is working hard to provide Canadians with more options and cleaner choices for their transportation needs.
The transportation sector accounts for one quarter of Canada's greenhouse gases, which is why it's important for Canada to set ambitious targets. It's just as important that we continue to invest in EV charging station infrastructure. Here in the Region of Peel, the federal government is investing in 43 new electric vehicle charging stations, and many of my constituents in Brampton East are very excited to use these chargers.
I see in the mains that there are two EV programs, the electric vehicle and alternative fuel infrastructure program and the zero emissions vehicle infrastructure program.
Minister, how will these programs help make charging infrastructure more accessible for Canadians?
