You also loaned $400 million to Quebec's Bus Carriers Federation and $15 million to Autobus S\u00e9guin. More than $1 billion has gone out for these zero-emission buses, and I suppose some of those may include Lion Electric buses as well. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9186150\" data-originallang=\"en\">Regarding the ones that are definitely Lion Electric buses, would you say those loans are a writeoff at this point in time, including the one to the U.S. company?</p>",
