Canada Greener Homes Grant

Climate action starts at home. We’re launching the Canada Greener Homes Grant to lower Canadians’ energy bills, create jobs, and cut pollution.

The Canada Greener Homes Grant offers up to $5,000 to homeowners for home upgrades that will make their homes more energy-efficient, and up to $600 towards the cost of home evaluations.

The Canada Greener Homes Grant will create more than 110,000 direct and indirect jobs across Canada over the next seven years, in addition to the recruitment of 2,000 energy advisors that is currently underway to meet the increased demand for home evaluations.

Home retrofits mean lower energy bills, more jobs, and less pollution. With the Canada Greener Homes Grant, Canadians can lead the way by taking part in net-zero solutions.


Cleaner public transit

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Cartier terminus to explore the STL's new electric bus fleet. This was made possible with investments by the federal government, which is part of our Canada-wide plan to bolster a greener future.

Laval will be the first city in Quebec to operate fully electric long-range buses, and by 2025, will only be purchasing electric buses.

The future is green!


COVID-19 deconfinement 

While Laval remains a red zone, there have been several adjustments to public health measures: 

  • There is no longer a curfew
  • Restaurant outdoor terraces have opened, allowing for 2 people from different households to eat together
  • Outdoor gatherings of up to 8 people from a maximum of 2 households are permitted on private property
  • Travel bans between regions lifted
  • Resumption of events with a maximum of 2,500 people in big spaces like arenas and amphitheatres. 

Game 7

Wishing the best of luck to the Canadiens for a big Game 7 today. We were counted out before the series even started, but we continued to power through in the face of adversity. 

Saturday night's Game 6 was the first major sporting event in Canada to have fans since March 2020. The game served  as a testament of the sacrifice made by Canadians during this pandemic. We are finally starting to return to normal life, and we have to keep following public health guidelines and getting vaccinated to continue to regain our lives.

Let's get a big win tonight and move on to the second round against Winnipeg.

Go Habs Go!
