Transport committee You're not necessarily going to put all of those things on all trucks, so the cost could be $10,000 or it could be something less. What we're talking about is repayable grants. We don't have a specific number, and I don't expect billions to fall from the sky tomorrow. We had pr

Transport committee There are so many ways you can skin the cat. I appreciate Monsieur Poilievre's comments on grants. I only wish it were true for things like biodiesel and whatnot; billions were provided in grants for something that we're not sold on as a fuel. We could also be looking at LNG and

Transport committee Yes, definitely. We'll set aside whether we're talking about side guards or side skirts. I'm talking about side skirts, and there's no question that side skirts—you'll see them in our diagrams—do improve fuel economy. Perhaps somebody has made a side skirt that can also be a
