Now moving to the energy efficiency side, I notice that basically, right now in Canada, we're using about 300 petajoules of electrical energy for space and water heating in residential and commercial buildings. Of course, that's resistance heating of product. Most of this can be modified to other forms of energy. I would say that's one target we really can look at in terms of solar, biomass, or alternative uses of fossil fuels.
In fact, if you look at the situation between Quebec and Ontario, where Quebec uses a great deal of clean energy electricity for resistance heating in buildings and Ontario is using natural gas at about 30% efficiency for generating electricity, the formula between the two regions is skewed. You could simply use the natural gas in Quebec at 100% efficiency—or 93% efficiency in homes—and use clean electricity in Ontario from Quebec. There are some relationships in the use of electricity in space heating and water heating that I think need to be examined.
As well, the numbers give you 200 petajoules for lighting, between residential and commercial. Could we look at a measurement that would raise the standard of lighting in this country so that those numbers could be significantly reduced over a period of time? This is the great debate between compact fluorescents and LEDs and other forms of lighting, but it's a definite target area.
I'd just like you to comment on those two subjects.
