If memory serves me well, regarding home renovation, people needed to spend a minimum of $10,000 to qualify for a tax credit of about $1,300.

First of all, can you tell me if this program has had a significant impact and if it has led to a surge in the demand for home renovations?

Secondly, could we have a breakdown of the figures by province, to see how many people actually took advantage of this program? In order to claim the $1,350 tax credit, people had to have $10,000 to spend.
