Transport committee  Our measures, as was announced yesterday, I believe—all the days are blending together—are based on advice and evidence that we have. Every successive change we have made, whether it be the one that was implemented in the fall as a response to omicron or the one from a couple of

Transport committee  On an almost constant basis and in real time, we look at the current epidemiological situation domestically and what the appropriate measures are in Canada. Again, as was announced yesterday, we adjust those border and travel measures based on that evidence. We do that with our

Transport committee  I don't want to speak for my colleagues at the Public Health Agency of Canada, but as part of their analysis they do look at the epidemiological situation in other countries.

Transport committee  All of our travel advice and all of our analysis, as we have said, is based on the scientific evidence and the data that we have before us.

Transport committee  To date, we have provided subsidies. There's a program to provide subsidies of $5,000 for zero-emission light-duty vehicles. We have provided subsidies for approximately 130,000 vehicles over the last couple of years. There have also been significant investments in charging infra

Transport committee  I have a bit of detail. I can turn to colleagues for that. There's been substantial work on this proposed facility and work on some of the previous regulations restricting heights of buildings that were in place at the time the airport was in use.
