“Would you personally drive a Chinese-made EV? Yes or No?” asked Conservative MP Vincent Neil Ho during a committee meeting last week.
“You wouldn’t?” responded Joly, before Ho repeated his question. “My question is you wouldn’t?” Joly said again.
“I’m the one asking the questions here,” said Ho. “You’re the one answering. You’re the government.”
