Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses.
My apologies for interrupting the flow of questioning.
There is a motion that was put on notice, which I would like to take the opportunity at this time to move:
That, given that:
Canadians across the country are struggling with the cost of home heating; The oil to heat pump incentive was recently increased to up to $15,000 for low- and median-income families in Atlantic Canada; The federal heat pump rebate available to Canadians in the rest of the country is only $5,000, and involves a complex, bureaucratic application process; and, Uptake for the Greener Homes program has not been adequate to meet the government’s stated greenhouse gas emission reduction ambitions; The committee report to the House that it urges the government to increase and streamline heat pump incentives for all Canadians, eliminate GST on home heating across the country, and make big oil and gas companies pay for those measures with an excess profits tax.
