Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for Mr. Engel and it is on insulating ventilation, heating, and cooling systems. I believe firmly in the potential of these measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency. I didn't see anything in the brief about this, but maybe that's because I didn't read the whole thing.
What can the federal government do to help in the transition in existing buildings, whether residential, commercial, or government—and I suppose it might be easier for a government—and ensure that new buildings are better insulated?
Should there be a tax credit program? What measures should be taken?
