That's good to know.
I'll back up what you said. At home, we had only baseboard heaters. However, two years ago, I added a heat pump. Just by doing this, we reduced our electricity usage by 40%.
Before being elected to the federal government, I was a mayor. In my constituency, one mayor is quite proactive when it comes to renovations. He tried to get a bylaw passed to ban gas heating systems. His name is Paul Germain. He was determined that only heat pumps be installed in new houses. He ran into a roadblock in the form of Énergir, a gas company in Quebec. The company sued the City of Prévost to force it to change its bylaw, arguing that the measure was unfair. They ultimately reached an amicable agreement.
How can cities or provinces that want to take a proactive approach to energy efficiency work with the government to achieve the best results for Canadians?
