There are a few different definitions of energy poverty. I won't get into the actual numbers because different groups define it differently.
Essentially, it means that households that experience energy poverty pay a disproportionate amount of their household income toward energy. That's energy for all things. It's to keep their homes heated, or generally heated. Most of our low-income households don't have cooling at all. It's also transportation. A very high percentage of our population, between 40% and 50%, is rural, which means that people don't have a choice but to own a car in our region. That's across all of Atlantic Canada. These households have to choose whether to keep the heat on, buy groceries or get medicine. Those are real choices that are being made in more than 30% of households in our region.
