Thank you.
If you have other examples of things that could be done to better support electrification, you can send them to us in writing.
Mr. Bennett, Hydro-Québec recently announced that it planned to invest $100 billion in its system by 2035, if I'm not mistaken. That means the clean electricity investment tax credit the government announced in the last budget is quite timely. However, I see many of the requirements as problematic, especially the rules around labour and the obligation to return savings to customers, which is almost impossible for Hydro-Québec to do because it can't pinpoint the specific basin the electricity came from. Considering all of Hydro-Quebec's facilities, I don't see how it would be able to do that. What's more, in Quebec, the rates are set by a board.
Does your association think the requirements for the tax credit are flexible enough?
