Thank you so much.

I want to thank all the witnesses for the testimony today. It's been very informative.

My first question is for Mr. Gemmel.

You spoke about a zero-emissions transport system. You stated that it is something you wish to reach by 2050. You also spoke about a national transportation system and a rural transit fund.

I believe Mr. Cassidy stated that an electrified system would not be financially viable for passenger coach transportation, so how is it that you propose you will reach a zero-emissions transport, a carbon-neutral system, by 2050? Can you give us some insight into that?
