Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses.
I have a question, and will start with Mr. Pascoe. I'm going to be fairly blunt, because I had the perception on this from your conversation today, and as Mr. Poilievre said, I thought we'd hear a lot about battery technologies. I'm going to be pretty blunt with my question.
I get a sense that you've lost confidence in the battery technology, especially when you gave us a window of 10 to 20 years down the road. There's been a lot of research dollars invested in this over the years. We talk about innovation and change. When I was a young boy, and that was a little while ago, battery powered vehicles were the big talk back then. We're a long way from that time, and yet we're still looking far away to the horizon.
Is there a loss of confidence in this technology actually being the future?
