I respect each jurisdiction and respect each province, but when it comes to, for example, Oxford County, we have great discussions with automakers there. GM's CAMI plant is in my riding, where the BrightDrop vehicle, an electric commercial vehicle, was not selling. There was no demand for it. The unions came out saying that there was no demand for it. That plant is now sitting idle, and 1,200 workers have lost their jobs.
Farmers are saying that they don't want to invest in buying an electric pickup truck because of the towing capacity. There are concerns about weather. There are concerns about infrastructure to charge those vehicles in rural communities like ours. Obviously, weather plays a huge role, especially on some of those roads.
Last year's market numbers in Canada and the U.S. are showing that the number of sales in the North American market is on a decline. How is that sustainable?
