Madam Speaker, since it is rare that I agree with my colleague, I wanted to rise to speak. This resonates with me.
Like him, I have an electric vehicle. I live in Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean, in northern Quebec. I can confirm that the winters are cold in northern Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean. However, I am still able to get here with an electric vehicle.
We have heard members try to demonize and vilify electric vehicles by saying that they do not work in winter and that there are no charging stations. However, the majority of people who own electric vehicles do 95% of their charging at home. They use their own charging stations. The network can be developed at home.
Here is what I want to ask my colleague. Does he agree with me that, ultimately, our Conservative colleagues' main argument is that we must protect the oil and gas sector's privileges?
