Encouraging heat pumps over natural gas would lower long-term costs for homeowners and reduce Ontario's CO2 emissions.

So a $4,400 subsidy on new homes, paid for by all natural gas consumers for the next 40 years.

If the gas furnace is so much cheaper than the heat pump up front, then they shouldn't need the hook up cost subsidized to make it more financially attractive.
