The committee member raised an excellent point, and we've been debating this with our provincial and territorial colleagues very carefully to try to find that sweet spot between yes, being ambitious, but also being realistic in terms of what's out there and where the price point is.
The reality is that today net-zero answers for construction do exist, but they'll be, for the average Canadian, cost prohibitive. How can we look to have a broad impact and broad options? We're talking about not just a few, but thousands, tens, and hundreds of thousands of housing units or buildings over time. We really need to invest there, and this is where that $60-some million in R and D and demo is so important. You want to be able to test it in a lab environment, but more importantly, you want to test it in the field in those different climatic environments with different builders to make sure that those things are practical, doable, and affordable.
The datasets that we'll extract from those demos will be very useful for the industry to get the confidence to say they're willing to take on a large number of units and bring the cost down meaningfully, as you suggest.
