Heat pumps, specifically in the case of Prince Edward Island, have been very advantageous from an economic perspective. Reliance on heating oil in Atlantic Canada actually makes Atlantic Canada one of the most expensive places to operate heating in your home. Even if you have natural gas, it's at the end of the line. It's more expensive.
Ultimately, the problem is not that we can't service that electricity demand. We can. It's just about aligning the planning correctly. In this case, there was a big jump in demand. People were flocking to this because of how economically attractive it was.
I think it's definitely a reliable source of heating. However, I would again mention—we're very careful about this and I want to be clear—that it's not advantageous across the board. How do you start with the places where it is a slam dunk and use that to kick-start the market transformation in terms of installers, distributors and even potentially manufacturers here in Canada, so we can do the market transformation across the board as it becomes more advantageous in different jurisdictions?
