Thank you, Madam Chair.
In my riding in Guelph, many individuals and businesses have benefited from the energy savings rebate program through the low-carbon economy fund when they're shopping at local businesses such as Shuh's Appliance Centre in Guelph, a small business that's been family run for a couple of generations and is now able to pass savings through to consumers who are looking for savings on their Energy Star appliances.
Could you share with the committee how this program directly benefits individuals, businesses and municipalities and how it's being used to both stimulate the economy and protect the environment?
