Mr. Speaker, obviously, the issue with China flooding our marketplace with electric vehicle technology is that it puts our auto industry at a competitive disadvantage. From my perspective, and I think the perspective of most people connected to the auto industry, steel, oil and gas, we want to support Canadian markets and the Canadian-made technologies in those industries. However, to go back to what I was saying in my speech, the whole purpose of the opposition to this plan is that by mandating car companies to shift to the production of EVs, we would create conditions where not only jobs are lost, but cars are more expensive.
