Thank you very much. I'm a fill-in today, but I'm feeling quite at home, actually. I've been a builder my whole life, prior to six months ago. As president of the Ontario Home Builders, representing about 4,000 building companies in Ontario, I know through the years that I served the industry as a person elected by my peers that there were many changes to the building code that moved us toward more energy efficiency. Through the years, we were involved with CMHC in developing standards, developing new technologies through R-2000 and in other ways.
Mr. Shields, I'm finding the assertion that I think you've made, that nothing is moving towards that ultimate goal of zero energy consumption, difficult to understand, because there has been great progress. I might say, too, that our peers around the world generally consider the housing stock of Canada to be the finest in the world. I'm wondering whether you have any comments in that regard.
