Today, I sent the following letter to Minister Bruce Ralston regarding the need for government to ensure equitable access to life-saving home heating and cooling retrofits, specifically heat pumps. As the climate crisis deepens, we need to move quickly to ensure that our communities are resilient to extreme weather events.
