Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, proudly signed 350 Canada’s pledge for a Universal Heat Pump Program and gave the following statement.
“I am proud to support a Universal Heat Pump Program. This will reduce costs and help Canada achieve our GHG targets. Hundreds of people died in just a week in 2021 during the BC heat dome while fossil fuel giants were raking in record profits. It’s time to impose an excess profits tax on the largest fossil fuel companies and use the revenue to fund this much-needed program.”
