Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here today.
Welcome, colleagues, back to our committee and our study on home retrofits.
It's been a fascinating discussion so far. I have so many different new ideas and questions to pursue on this.
I feel our guest from the Canada West Foundation is feeling left out, so perhaps we'll start there.
I'll build on a point that was just made by Professor Papineau that I found fascinating. It's been percolating in my mind. There's the confluence of all of the things we have going on that we have to balance. How do we get the right balance in an electrification effort, with fuel switching and how those decisions are driven? The comment was that electrification—if I may paraphrase—may increase household costs, ultimately, if the grid isn't able to keep up with the demand. It's about the adoption rate of new technology or differences versus the generation, transmission and distribution capacity of the grid.
Could you comment on that, please?
