It is not exclusively effective. Sometimes very good work is done, but the right technical solution isn't necessarily brought to the right problem.
I'll highlight another example. You gave the example, Mr. Dicaire, of the electrification of residential houses in Ottawa, which is fantastic when there is access to nuclear power, but what about Alberta, where the available base energy unit is natural gas? For a chemical engineer, the loss on transformation of power from burning it to electricity, when we're electrifying something and we could just keep burning natural gas to make the system more efficient, so the heat pump doesn't work anyway....
Does the heat pump work in that system? Are we incentivizing the right tools in every part of the country?
