Q: I would like to buy a stock or ETF that deals with water treatment, possibly desalination, or purifying water. This would be a US holding, but not necessarily aimed at treating water in the US. What suggestions might you have? I thought about American WaterWorks, and would like an idea of what else is out there, especially for desalination treatment. Thank you.

Q: NFI had fair bit of news over the holidays. The market seemed reasonably happy with it all. Could you give some colour to all the new bus contracts? Also, somebody on BNN was expressing concern about the competition opening up in the EV category and NFI's ability to compete. Do you have anything to add to that? I noticed one of the contracts included EV's from NFI.

TIA
