Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Joliette—Manawan for his speech. My father lived in Joliette; it is a very nice city. Yesterday was Energy Efficiency Day. I would like to ask my colleague a question. Can he explain the connection between energy efficiency and affordability and how that benefits Quebeckers?
Portage—Lisgar Madam Speaker, I have had the honour of working with my colleague fromfor the last year and a half on the environment committee, and we are currently studying affordability and energy efficiency measures. Our government introduced a national electricity strategy, and there is support for up to one million Canadians on energy efficiency measures. Does the member agree with
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member's comments on affordability. About an hour ago, themade 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
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, an hour ago, thewas in the Eastern Townships, where he made a very important announcement about affordability. He announced $2 billion to improve energy efficiency for 820,000 Canadian households, in the form of $10,000 subsidies for heat pumps. Are you excited about this announcement on energy efficiency? Can you comment on how that relates to affordability?
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition brought forth by Raksha Bhayana and the Bhayana Family Foundation, supported by the philanthropic and charitable sector, and signed by 1,377 Canadians from across all provinces.

Mr. Speaker, the world is facing major headwinds, geopolitical, economic and trade pressures, headwinds that Canada must face as united people. External threats pose a challenge for Canada. We know what we are doing here in Canada is the best way to respond because when we seek unity, Canada thrives. In a rapidly changing world, it is more important than ever that we stay united. I noticed that
I would like to raise two points that echo the comments made by my colleague from the Bloc Québécois. First, I would like to see a breakdown of the amounts. If we can minimize the costs to taxpayers, we should do so. Second, sometimes during these trips, there are interpretation costs. So I would like to know whether these costs would be included. I think that the costs for interpretation from
Thank you, Madam Chair. I'd like to welcome the newest member from Newfoundland, who represents The Eastern Peninsulas. He's replacing another member from Newfoundland, so I'm excited to have him here. La Pointe-de-l'Île Repentigny I would also like to say hello to my riding neighbour in Montreal, the member for, and thank him for replacing our colleague from. I'll be sharing part of my time
You can answer in the language of your choice.
Okay. I have a minute and a half left. I'm going to pass my time to the member for Kitchener—Conestoga.

Recently, I read a letter from New Economy Canada—I believe CanREA was also a signatory; I believe it was you—which argued that a supply goal alone is a really good first step, but having an explicit target of Canada's final energy use coming
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Ms. Bellissimo, thank you for joining us virtually.

The report provides an assessment of “how far and how fast electrification can advance across sectors and regions, and what it means for energy security, affordability and
Great. I have a follow-up question. We were talking earlier about Churchill Falls, so I'd like to acknowledge my colleague, Carol Anstey, who's now on this committee—she's from Newfoundland—and I know my colleague Claude Guay worked on this important agreement over the summer. We're talking about 14 gigawatts of clean energy, which is absolutely massive. Can you comment on how the Churchill
