Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech.
I would like to read a few words from a document I have before me. It talks about something “expensive, unreliable and limited in its performance”. I was sure it was talking about electric vehicles but no, that is not it. It is talking about the internal combustion engine, when it made its debut on the market. It was expensive, unreliable and limited in its performance. However, through research and the development of suitable infrastructure, like roads and service stations, the combustion engine became what it represents today in the car world.
We are currently entering a new era. Electric cars are undergoing the same change. We are right in the middle of this change. I have a question for my colleague. Would she rather be part of this evolution and propel Canada into the future, or would she rather sit idly by and do nothing?
