Thank you, all, for coming today.
My name is Ron Liepert. I am the Conservative member of Parliament for Calgary Signal Hill. As Conservatives, we believe in balanced budgets, so one of my personal goals over the next four days, when we meet here and in Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg, is to see whether, at the end of this process, the asks balance off with the savings to get us to a balanced budget. At the end of the day, we are the finance committee. We are not the immigration committee; we are not the infrastructure committee; we are not the health or any other committee. We are talking dollars and cents.
Mr. Mueller, you talked a lot about the potential savings. I don't think anyone disagrees with the fact that we need to do a better job on being smarter when we build. If we are going to encourage retrofits, primarily at the individual taxpayer level, I am assuming you are asking for government to put in place some sort of an incentive program or a subsidy program. How would we get individuals with existing buildings to voluntarily retrofit?
