Madam Speaker, I will refer my colleague from Sarnia—Lambton to some of the electricity generation projects that are happening in her area of the province, and in particular Bruce. I will refer her to the major projects we have outlined, including SMRs in the Darlington area. I will also refer her to the strategy itself, which has a national electricity strategy to come and a charging infrastructure strategy to come.
In relation to tailpipe emissions, this is an area of disagreement between us and the official opposition. We know automaking can exist in concert with strong emissions standards. We saw that with the California emissions standards, which we all embrace and adopt. The question is, are we going to be more sovereign and adopt tailpipe emissions strategies that are in line with what Europe is doing and what California is doing, or are we going to hold ourselves back?
We think these kinds of decisions can help drive investment in the right kind of way, without the kind of punitive measures that were in the electric vehicle availability standard. We believe they are also good for the environment and good for consumers.
