What happened
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced in Sherbrooke that Ottawa will launch a new heat pump rebate program early next year. The government plans to budget $2 billion over eight years with a target of retrofitting one million homes. The program offers up to $10,000 for households below the median income level and $2,000 for other homeowners. This initiative is winding down an existing program that subsidized oil-heated home purchases.
