Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome. Appearing here every year in order to answer our questions is a necessary evil. That goes without saying.
I would like to ask you a question.
When you go to bed at night do you turn off the lights and turn down the heating for the night? Yes?
When I'm staying at the Lac-Leamy Hilton Hotel and I open up the drapes in the evening, I can see that the government buildings are lit up from top to bottom, on every floor. I am also certain that the heating is not turned down.
Has no one ever thought that we should, at one point, turn off these lights? That may generate some savings for us. I do understand that you may have some concerns about this, given that, when we were studying other files, we saw that changing a switch cost $1,000, and, in order to change a plant, it cost $2,000. I would imagine that you fear exorbitant costs. It seems to me, however, that turning off the lights would be a first step.
What do you think?
