Mr. Friend, I have been in this profession for some time now. You have just given one of the most clear and direct answers that I have ever heard. I just wanted to give you a little spontaneous applause.
Ms. Yalnizyan, during your presentation, you talked to us in particular about the crying need to extend the application of possible tax deductions to home renovations. You want to extend them in two ways. Firstly, you want to target home renovations, and further energy efficiency. Home renovations would serve to advance sustainable development. I would then like to hear you talk to us a bit more about unfairness within the current system.
We all agree that this is a good program that provided a fast injection of money into the economy to create jobs. As the home builders stated so well, this curtailed the underground economy, as people want to get their credit and a proper receipt. This has resulted in money flowing back into the open economy.
I would like to hear you talk about two consequences: the placing of emphasis on energy efficiency; and the extension of the tax credit to renters, and not just homeowners. Is this part and parcel of your vision?
