Mr. Speaker, the answer is probably simple enough. It is because they offered incentives. It is because they built a network to serve EV owners.
The Conservatives' proposals do not align with that vision. What they want to do is not develop the EV sector. The last thing I heard the Conservatives say is that they want to maintain the plastic industry. They said that during the election campaign. They want to keep using plastic straws, and they want to get more gas-powered vehicles on the road. In my opinion, that is no way to deal with the climate crisis we are grappling with today.
