International Trade committee  Good morning, everyone. Madam Chair and committee members, thank you for the opportunity to participate in your study on Canadian green technology exports. I know many of you saw me already a few weeks ago at the Special Committee on the Economic Relationship between Canada an

Industry committee  The federal government plays what I would call a critical role in supporting the build-out of public charging through the EVAFIDI program and ZEVIP from NRCan. Those are absolutely essential programs that have recently been expanded, and they play a role in making sure that all C

Industry committee  That's right. We actually took stations that we designed and built for the City of Montreal, and adapted them and made modifications for a number of American cities. Our two largest American deployments are in the city of Los Angeles, where we've deployed stations on their exis

Industry committee  It depends which case you're speaking of. In Los Angeles, it was financed by the Bureau of Street Lighting, which is a municipal agency that controls the street lights. In the city of New York, it is a co-funded program by Con Edison, which is the local utility, and our company.

Industry committee  If you survey people who are looking for new vehicles, they will overwhelmingly tell you that they will not buy an electric vehicle unless they see some way to charge it. In practice, most Canadians charge at home or at work most of the time, unless they live in a condo building

Industry committee  Thank you. It's such an important question. In provinces like Quebec and British Columbia which have really worked to start electrifying their provincial and municipal fleets, it's a very significant opportunity for Canadian businesses on both the charging side and now on the ve

Industry committee  That's correct. We have made recommendations to the government to expand its purchase of both electric vehicles and charging stations primarily to line up with the Canadian government's own objectives with respect to electrifying transportation and also to support their greening

Industry committee  The technology that we developed in Quebec helps us do a couple of different things. When you think about a traditional fuelling structure like a gas tank, you think it's really about taking fuel safely from a big tank and putting it in your vehicle. But when you're using IoT, I

Industry committee  We're very confident in our ability to produce for all Crown corporation and government charging station needs, and we're excited to compete. Thank you.

Industry committee  Thank you. I would say our ambitions are pretty ambitious. We are seeking to grow and create one of the world's leading EV-charging networks and manufacturing companies in Quebec. We've had early success in expanding across Canada and now into the United States. There is so much

Industry committee  Good morning, everyone. Madam Chair, members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to participate in your study on the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. I would also like to say thanks to the folks who helped me figure out my technical problems and to you

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  The biggest risk that we see is inaction. That's number one. The biggest problem was allowing other countries and continents to move faster than Canada and the United States, because at a certain point you get a technological lead and a production-scaling lead that is just unbeat

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  Those announcements will have a very important catalyzing role, I would say, in helping kick off a huge opportunity for Canada not just to be changing its own transportation system, but to be getting some of the jobs and building the IP and the expertise that is the real opportun

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  I'm sorry, I want to make sure I answer the right question. Are you asking how many stations are in the Biden plan?

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  That's understood. Thank you. That's a great question. I think we're still in the hundreds right now. We have stations all over the city of Los Angeles, which were a modification of the ones we designed for the city of Montreal, and LA especially asked if we could convert them
