441-02451 (Natural resources and energy)

WHEREAS:

• Several municipalities across the country have banned or moved to ban natural gas in new home construction;
• These gas bans negatively impact consumer choice, prevent access to renewable gas now and hydrogen in the future, and restrict access to vital back-up heating options like gas fireplaces.

THEREFORE:

We, the undersigned citizens and permanent residents of Canada, call upon the Government to be thoughtful in its approach to shifting how homeowners use energy to power their lives, and encourage provincial and municipal governments to do the same.
