Madam Speaker, I listened very intently to the excellent presentation by hon. member. I have just a quick question.
He mentioned a number of varieties of automobiles. I believe he stated that all automakers in Canada and many of the foreign automakers were supporting this initiative.
Is this something that just evolved in the last month, or two or three months? Or have these studies been ongoing for several months or perhaps years, as the automakers make their plans and directives for new equipment and machinery that will go into their automobiles for future generations?
I wonder if the member could perhaps address that.
