The energy system itself is very complex. Gas and electric work together to supply the energy that Canadians need every single day. I'll use the example of Ontario and Quebec in the winter time. Quebec is a hydro-rich province with lots of electric heating. In the middle of winter, when they have their peak needs, Ontario is exporting megawatts of electricity that is created by natural gas, so natural gas is supporting the electricity system, even in provinces that are electric-heavy.
When we talk about regional differences across Canada, yes, I think it makes sense that we harvest the low-hanging fruit—or “shoot the ducks” is what I heard earlier today. There are regional differences that need to be taken into account in any program that we put in place when it comes to fuel switching or looking at what that heating appliance is in the home. What works in Alberta is different from what works in Ontario and different from what works in Nova Scotia. These things all need to be taken into account.
At the same time, the economics and the affordability of doing so are front and centre in most Canadians' minds right now. Programs that are being put in place need to have the economics make sense to that homeowner so that the bill they get at the end of the month actually lowers with whatever retrofit situation we're putting them into.
