Madam Speaker, as I said countless times in my speech and in my previous response, I have nothing against Canadians who want the choice and can afford to buy an electric vehicle. I will not disagree that over the lifetime of the vehicle it can potentially save people money. I do not disagree with the argument of the potential climate benefits that EVs have over a gas-powered vehicle. My point is that we cannot force Canadians to go down this path.
We can incentivize. Where are the incentives? Where is the plan? Where is the infrastructure needed to make this happen? If the government lays this all out, if it is upfront and transparent and lets the market get there, then we will eventually get there and technology will drive us there, but we are not there yet.
