Madam Speaker, naturally, I will not congratulate my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent—Akiawenhrahk on his French, but I will nevertheless address the issue of sovereignty, a theme I like to hear him talk about. I will not talk to him about the Prime Minister's speech in Quebec City, because I know he cares a lot about historical accuracy, but I want to talk to him about electric vehicles, which he touched on in his speech.
In particular, I want to talk to him about the Prime Minister's commitment to rekindling ties with China by allowing imports of Chinese electric vehicles, which are clearly built by children, with no respect for human rights, and with parts of unknown origin, which will be able to control the data and perhaps even control the vehicle. Are we protecting our sovereignty by trusting Beijing's regime, as he likes to call it, or are we shooting ourselves in the foot when it comes to Canada's sovereignty?
I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on that.
