Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Repentigny for his speech and congratulate him on his election.
The member mentioned the environmental footprint of cars, which is entirely legitimate, but let us remember that this debate is about the obligation to sell only electric cars in Canada starting in 2035.
I drive an electric car myself. Electric cars produce zero emissions. However, producing an electric car requires a lot of minerals. Could the member explain the environmental footprint of manufacturing a car, whether electric or conventional?
