Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses for being with us this morning.
My first question is for Mr. Kingston.
Some automakers have argued that mandating autonomous zero-emission vehicle sales will put Canada out of alignment with regulations in the United States, among others, and that could have consequences for our country in terms of investment, jobs and the supply chain for that type of vehicle.
However, we know that most automakers have already indicated that they intend to shift their entire production to zero-emission vehicles in the coming years. The federal government has partnered with the industry to make significant investments in batteries and electric vehicle manufacturing in this country.
Is there no zero-emission vehicle, or ZEV, standard to support this green transition? Can you give us more details on that?
