Mr. Speaker, what we need to do is seize this crisis as an opportunity to modernize by adopting the next-generation economic model adopted by Europe and most of the rest of the world, with the exception of Donald Trump's United States and, unfortunately, our own country under our government's excessively timid measures. We must accelerate transportation electrification. One of the most promising ways forward is to develop the resource and get that manufacturing happening here, not to invest $30 billion in Ontario's auto industry, which does not have that great a comparative advantage, as the results have shown.
