I just had a farmer in my region who texted me, and he was wondering if he can install a heat pump on his grain dryer. I said, “No, no. You’ve got to use natural gas. There’s no way.”

When we’re talking about heat pumps in the northern region—even in my region in eastern Ontario, I’ve got a heat pump, but I’ve got a natural gas backup, and that’s the story about all rural municipalities in the northern area. If you want to use a heat pump, you’ve got to have a backup source. It has to be an electric duct heater, whatever. That’s the reality.

So how can you not understand the reality of rural Ontario? I know you’re living in Toronto, but you’ve got to understand the reality of rural Ontario.
