Thank you.
That is really important because, as you mentioned, energy efficiency is good for affordability and good for the environment. It's one of the strongest double wins, if I could name one.
What we have in the electricity strategy is a commitment to help retrofit up to a million homes. That's in consultation as to exactly how it rolls out, but one of the important parts is the expansion of the oil to heat pump program to allow people who rely on propane and electric baseboard heating to have access to that program. We know that will expand coverage across our country and help Canadians reduce their energy bills. In fact, when we look at the electricity strategy as a whole, we anticipate that 70% of Canadians will see—we call this “energy wallets” but, really, it's energy savings—reductions in their energy costs because of this electricity strategy.
If I can add this, though, just because there's one piece.... It's a visuals thing. I was out for an announcement last week in coastal B.C. on the creation of a national marine conservation area reserve. I was in a small town up there, and there were heat pumps on those homes. Those are the kinds of things that people see are supporting energy efficiency and supporting the protection of the environment. I'll notice it very boldly too when I go to Atlantic Canada, quite frankly. The oil to heat pump program has had a massive impact in switching people over to a form that's going to reduce their energy bills.
