I thank the member for Dawson very much for the question. I'd like to start my answer with a quote:

… when fuel efficiency standards were introduced in the US, the most popular models before introduction stayed the most popular models after introduction … what we'd call utes … There wasn't a material change in price and we don't expect that there would be a material change in price here.

Now, who said that? Who said that? You'd think it would be me because in terms of the new vehicle efficiency standard impact analysis we have put out, that is what's in there. It could have been Minister Bowen as well. But who was that? It was, in fact, the member for Bradfield, when he released the draft regulatory impact statement for the fuel efficiency standards that those opposite were going to introduce back in 2018!
