President, Canada Green Building Council

Thomas Mueller

There's one in B.C. There is a group associated with us, a multi-stakeholder group that has just developed it. I'd be happy to point you in the right direction. We also have a product that we deliver to building owners that tells them how they can implement policy, what the process is to actually go from policy into practice. The integrated design process is part of that training.

Thank you.

Are there any further questions? Monsieur Nadeau? No?

I want to thank you very much. You will make your plane. We're giving you lots of time, although the traffic can be heavy at this time.

Thank you very much for coming. It was very informative. We wish you well. I hope you can convince more municipalities to put in different building codes. That would go a long way, although it might be hard to do. Thank you.
