Transport Minister Omar Alghabra told a parliamentary committee on April 20 that the debate on the need to reduce vehicle emissions “is over” as the federal government looks to implement a number of incentives to encourage Canadians to purchase electric vehicles.
Alghabra made the comments during an appearance before the Commons Standing Committee on Transport while being questioned by MPs about a number of spending measures his department plans to undertake as part of the Liberal government’s most recent budget.
