Mr. Speaker, I would really encourage the member, who I know is an economist and understands these things, to take four steps forward to the seat in front of him, sit down next to the member for Dufferin—Caledon and explain to him what the innovation curve is and what it means for new technology. I am sure he could help the member for Dufferin—Caledon immensely, because he is not taking it from me. I would encourage him to do that.
As it relates specifically to this criticism I hear from Conservatives about how we have tried to give incentives to buy EVs and their talk about giving out money, I never once hear Conservatives talk about the way the government has subsidized oil over the years. Canadians should know the degree to which oil has been subsidized. Conservatives never talk about that.
