Madam Speaker, the answer is quite simple: reduce taxes on heating. It is not hard. By the way, he says that heat pumps are better for the environment. I agree with him. The Liberals have been in power for eight years. Instead of collecting a tax on carbon and giving part of it back to people, why did they not decide eight years ago to provide all Canadians who are less fortunate with heat pumps or to help them acquire them? I do not know why they did not do that eight years ago if it is such a good solution for the environment. They collect taxes and give some of it back. They tell people to go buy a heat pump that will cost them anywhere from $5,000 to $12,000 and that it will all be paid off in a few years. Nothing is free in Canada.
