Mr. Speaker, the biggest threat to our economy right now is the American tariffs, not electric vehicles. We want to ensure that we grow our economy but also protect the environment for future generations. We need to do that with different approaches. There is not one panacea that is going to do that. We have to take different approaches, and this is just one, to ensure that my children, my grandchildren and seven generations ahead will inherit an earth that is better than it is today.
