And I commend that, don't get me wrong. That's an excellent development that the government is implementing that policy as retrofits happen.

But these are not normal times. This is not normal course. We have a stimulus package with a great deal of money that the government is now spending, over and above normal course. And certainly, as Liberal opposition members, when we were discussing recommendations for a stimulus package, very high on our list was a recommendation to have federal buildings made more energy efficient, with extra money, and I see nothing in this list.

So is the answer that there really isn't anything in the extra stimulus package here that is consciously going toward making federal buildings more energy efficient, above the normal course?
