Thank you very much.
Well, hopefully next season an unnecessary election won't interrupt the pre-budget period and we can revert to our normal practice of having the Parliamentary Budget Officer here for a meeting, so that members of the committee can spend more time asking him questions about his analysis.
To the Green Budget Coalition, my impression from your opening statement is that one of the really important priorities is to establish a program that can get retrofits of our buildings going in order to lower our emissions. We know that buildings are a significant source of our current greenhouse gas emissions.
I'd raised this in the House in or around December. I think it was in the debate on the fall economic statement. I was told by the member for Winnipeg North, who's a parliamentary secretary in the government, that they were already doing a bunch of retrofits, that my exhortation to do more, and to do more quickly, was simply unreasonable and that the government had already checked that off their list by having a program to do retrofits.
Are you satisfied with the current government's program for retrofits? Do you think it's ambitious enough? If not, what more needs to be done? How do you see that being done in order to achieve the success that we have to as a country to fight the climate crisis?
