Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good afternoon, colleagues. Thank you to our witnesses for joining us today.
I would like to pick up on a line of questioning similar to the one my colleague opposite was engaging in a moment ago.
I'll go to you first, Mr. Daley, as the person here who I think installs these systems most directly.
In previous discussions in this committee, we've heard questions about the suitability of heat pump systems in cold weather and questions about whether or not, as you've noted today in your opening statement, they require a secondary heating system as a backup.
The Government of Yukon had a study that was released, I believe, in 2022. It identified heat pumps as being effective for all home heating purposes down to a temperature of -18°C. I'm wondering, in light of the improving effectiveness of this technology, if it is only in the parts of the country where winter temperatures regularly go below -18°C that you would say it's necessary to have that kind of a backup system.
