—but you said that a regulation forces manufacturers to actually change their vehicles; the regulation stating what their fleet must meet in terms of fuel economy standards will drive, in large measure, what they build next. That in turn will drive some of the innovation that is required to get there, both in terms of weight and fuel efficiency of engines.
However, there are times when regulations get in the way of innovations. I think part of what Mr. Poilievre was asking was, what can we do? I use the example of the ZENN car, which Transport Canada effectively blocked from being sold in Canada. It's no longer being produced. It was an innovative solution to urban transportation. Canada Post, inside the city, could be using ZENN cars for almost all of its stuff, with zero emissions and zero noise, but regulations prevented it, and it has now ceased to exist.
Could you comment on that?
