Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition brought forth by Emilie Grenier and Efficiency Canada, which was signed by over 2,400 Canadians, that calls upon our government to designate energy efficiency as a nation-building priority.
First, the petitioners would like to bring to the attention of the House their desire to double the pace of Canada's energy productivity. Second, they also wish to bring to the attention of the House the importance of eliminating energy poverty in Canada while progressing toward net zero. The timing of this petition coincides with national energy efficiency day, which we celebrate on October 1.
