StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-OTTAWA – Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced that a re-elected Conservative Government would help more Canadian homeowners lower their home heating costs through energy efficiency by extending the ecoENERGY Home Retrofit Program for an additional year.
“The Home Retrofit Program helps Canadian homeowners lower their home heating costs and contribute to a healthier environment by investing in energy-saving upgrades to their homes,” said Harper. “The program puts up to $5,000 back into the pockets of homeowners who retrofit their homes, saving them an average of $500 in energy costs.”
Mr. Harper noted that helping Canadians lower their home heating costs by improving their energy efficiency is part of a Conservative low-tax approach to reducing emissions, along with targeted and common-sense regulation of industries by sector. In contrast, Mr. Ignatieff’s high-tax agenda will mean higher prices for Canadian consumers and families, stall our economic recovery and kill jobs.
“Our approach will maintain Canada’s economic advantage, protecting and creating jobs while achieving emissions reductions,” said Mr. Harper. “Canadians have a clear choice. Mr. Ignatieff’s high-tax agenda will raise prices across the board and stall our economic recovery. The Conservative low-tax approach to protecting the environment also protects Canadian jobs.”
Mr. Harper noted that by opportunistically forcing an unnecessary election and opposing the Next Phase of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, the Ignatieff-led Coalition chose to pursue their own political self-interest over the needs of Canadian families seeking to lower their home heating costs.
