February 14, 2024
- This bill, known as Bill C-382, aims to make changes to the Excise Tax Act and the Income Tax Act in Canada. The purpose of the bill is to exempt extra-energy-efficient products from the goods and services tax and provide a tax credit for the purchase of these products. The bill lists various household appliances, air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, lighting fixtures, electronic products, and motors that would qualify as extra-energy-efficient products. The bill also includes provisions for the review of regulations and the designation of these products.

moved for leave to introduce Bill C-382, An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act and the Income Tax Act (extra-energy-efficient products).
He said: Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to introduce this legislation, with thanks to the member for Nanaimo—Ladysmith for seconding it.
The bill would amend the Excise Tax Act to exempt extra-energy-efficient products from the GST and the HST, including heat pumps, household appliances, lighting fixtures, electric motors and electronics. It would also amend the Income Tax Act to provide a tax credit for the purchase of these products. This would put money back in people's pockets, reduce our energy consumption and encourage a shift towards more sustainable consumption.
The bill represents a key investment in our future. Its urgency is underscored by the premature exhaustion of funds from the federal greener homes grant program. I urge all members to support this important initiative for a greener, more sustainable and more affordable Canada for all Canadians.
