Eric St-Pierre Liberal
“The government is spending two billion dollars to help people make their homes more energy-efficient and afford heat pumps. This cuts pollution and makes homes more comfortable. I want to know if the member agrees that this help is good for Canadians.”
“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member’s comments on affordability. About an hour ago, the Prime Minister made an announcement on energy efficiency in my home province of Quebec, announcing $2 billion to retrofit 820,000 homes, with low-income Canadians getting up to $10,000 for heat pumps. This is going to be a reduction in emissions of 25 megatonnes, and it is going to increase the comfort in homes. I am curious. Does the member for Edmonton Strathcona think heat pump subsidies are good for Canadians and good for her constituents in Edmonton?”
