Mr. Speaker, we are in a situation right now where the price of gas is skyrocketing because of conflicts. We are also in a situation that calls for a certain degree of environmental responsibility. Everything points toward facilitating, or even accelerating, the electrification of transportation. The federal EV purchase subsidy is a perfect example. When the government decided to eliminate this subsidy, EV sales dropped. Sales will rebound, which is good news.
However, the Conservatives are prepared to scrap the only measure that could benefit Quebec, because the more EVs that are on Quebec's roads, the more electricity we consume. The money spent on Quebec electricity does not go into the pockets of big oil companies; it goes into the pockets of Quebeckers through Hydro‑Québec.
Does my colleague agree that scrapping the EV tax incentive would be really bad for Quebec?
