Mr. Speaker, my colleague has been a long-time advocate for the kinds of policies that get results for the climate and affordability, and I want to share my appreciation for that.
He has laid out some very good specific numbers that show what is possible with the right kinds of investment in the right kinds of vehicles. The flip side is that if we go back to a 60-year-old policy and abandon 50 years of auto emissions standards, it is a complete reversal. It embraces a far right idea.
Yes, my colleague is right that we have to work together to provide those opportunities to Canadians so that, overall, our marketplace provides vehicles that are safer, more reliable and more affordable, and that reduce our emissions profile.
