Removing these incentives could significantly slow down the progress Quebecers have made so far in adopting electric vehicles.

Key Points: 
  • Removing these incentives could significantly slow down the progress Quebecers have made so far in adopting electric vehicles.
  • The data also demonstrates that the fundamental reason behind Quebec's success in this transition to electric is the usage of this aggressive and comprehensive incentive program.
  • This budget proposes to turn back the clock by putting forward an approach similar to that of provinces that have barely begun the transition to electric vehicles.
  • It is imperative that we work together to build a more sustainable and affordable future for all Quebecers.
