Thank you, senator. Earlier, the example I gave of heat pumps clearly showed that we realized that it was only people who use home heating oil, whether in Quebec — where, in fact, there are more people using oil heating than in all the Atlantic provinces — because of their economics, who don’t have the means to make the transition.

That’s why we brought in a program where the federal government, in collaboration with participating provinces, will pay 100% of this transition. This will allow an average family to save nearly $2,000 a year on their energy bill on average, in Canada. There are regional variations. That is one of the measures we brought in.

We’re also doing this on climate change adaptation, where there’s a concerted effort being made with the provinces and municipalities to focus our efforts on urban areas where the populations are more disadvantaged and more at risk of feeling the impacts of climate change, such as heat waves, for example.
