Mr. Speaker, the member is being disingenuous when he starts off by criticizing me personally. The way I read it is that he does not have anything concrete to bring to this debate, but I will answer his question.
If the member listened to my speech and everything I said, he would have heard me make it very clear that we are in a transition. We are all going to be building only electric cars eventually. That is the reality, whether that member wants to pontificate about what is happening right now and try to conserve everything that exists in the auto industry, or whether he is willing to look towards the future.
In my opinion, the real question is, where is the future? I would encourage the member to start looking to where the future is. When we are at a place where one in five cars being sold is an EV, it is pretty clear to me where we are going to end up.
