Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I admire her very much, and I admire her deeply sincere political engagement.
I would like to remind her that nobody has a crystal ball. We do not know what will happen. I remember back when I was a kid, there were ads on TV saying there would be no more oil by the 1980s. That is what we were told back then.
I want to say that the concern the member raised is important. We all know we have to shift and transition. That is why, three weeks ago, our leader unveiled a thoughtful, realistic and responsible game plan to address climate change. Our plan includes that transition, and transportation electrification is a big part of it.
The member and I both know that there is extraordinary potential in places like Saint-Jérôme in Quebec, and we want to support that potential with investments in excess of $1 billion for electric vehicle batteries.
