You were at an announcement today, Minister, announcing the scrapping of the EV mandate. If you're not prepared to answer questions with regard to a government decision on that mandate, that's on you. Today is our time to ask you questions, not only with regard to your mandate but specifically on a policy and program that we had advocated scrapping for months. Canadians deserve and have a right to hear from you today.
Let me go back to the question I was asking about your recent trip to China and the agreement to allow 49,000 Chinese vehicles in.
Doug Ford called these vehicles, only two weeks ago, “spy” machines. In fact, previously at the international trade committee, Charles Burton, who was a professor at Brock and a former diplomat, called Chinese vehicles “spy machines on wheels”.
Again, Madam Minister, I would like to know if there is a limit on that 6% growth rate, or does it continue to go on afterwards?
With regard to this deal, the Canadian government got a nine-month pledge from the Chinese government for dropping tariffs on canola for nine months. My understanding is that we've given over five years, and it could be unlimited, so what is that, Minister? Is it unlimited?
