Thank you, Madam Chair, and good afternoon, colleagues.
Thank you very much to our witnesses for being here.
I'd like to start with you, Mr. Purcell.
Thank you very much for your presentation and also for the Atmospheric Fund's work in helping to reduce emissions in Canada's largest metropolitan area. We know what a critically important role the GTHA plays in our overall national emissions landscape and how important it is to drive down emissions there.
I think there are good lessons to be learned for smaller urban areas across the country as well, including my own riding of Victoria. Approximately half of the folks in my riding live in multi-unit dwellings or apartment buildings.
Could you expand a little bit, please, really at the core, on what role the federal government can play in helping to incentivize or encourage the owners of multi-unit dwellings, multi-unit buildings, to actually undertake these energy retrofits?
