Madam Speaker, does the member know what all these lights are around us? They are LED lights. They are the most efficient, from a production perspective and also from an energy consumption perspective and, thus, an electrical perspective, in terms of the electricity produced to use them.
Does the member not realize that, 25 years ago, the light bulb that was most used was an incandescent light bulb? Does the member think that industry just created the LED light bulb and suddenly we started using them? No, it did not.
In the province of Ontario, the provincial government said that it was going to phase out the incandescent light bulb. The member might remember that, in the interim we had the compact fluorescent light bulb, which lasted for about 10 to 15 years. After that, the LED light bulb became the most prominent light bulb. It is now the cheapest light bulb to produce and use.
That all happened because the government in Ontario at the time said it wanted to phase out the incandescent light bulb and replace it with the LED light bulb. Because of its initiative, today, we only use LED light bulbs, which produce more light and produce it more cost-effectively.
Does the member wish that we still had the incandescent light bulb?
