Industry committee  Thank you very much, MP Poilievre. With regard to the question, I'm going to speak very briefly on an application side and then leave it to my colleagues on the fuel supply side. On the application side, it is important to put the fact out that, despite the high electricity pri

Industry committee  If I may, sir, just as a slight fact check on that statement, I understand it is a common assumption that there is a longer tailpipe on electrified vehicles, in particular where there's coal on the grid or natural gas through peaker plants.

Industry committee  Thank you, Mr. Masse. It's a perspicacious question and certainly it's the first thing that comes up when folks think about Sidewalk Labs and that boondoggle and everything that unfolded from that. When we talk about data analytics and the transit and transportation world, wh

Industry committee  Thank you very much for the questions, Member. I appreciate it.
