I am not as well placed as my colleagues who appeared last Monday on behalf of the Green Budget Coalition. We support the Green Budget Coalition, but we are not responsible for the housing sector. That said, we fully support the requests made, given that we are in the same Coalition.
The importance of energy-efficient retrofits is undeniable. We know full well that renovated buildings and new ones should be energy efficient. Related to mobility, perhaps, I would add that we should make sure electric charging stations are included in buildings' parking lots so that electric vehicles are always ready to be used. This includes not only residential buildings, but those of Crown corporations. For example, in the eastern part of the island of Montreal, Canada Post is building a new centre without charging stations for electric trucks or charging stations for its employees. This should be looked into, and the state should set an example here.
