I'll change gears and go over to Mr. Love. There, I would just recommend that if you wanted to go a little bit further west over to B.C., you might find it a little warmer in winter. I moved 23 years ago adjacent to my colleague Mr. Albas in the Okanagan.
With over 2,000 hours of sunlight a year, solar has been very popular in both the commercial and industrial sectors. Some of the wineries are going in that direction, as well as hoteliers. And as I mentioned, there's geothermal in the residential sector.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for their excellent information.
Mr. Love, in your presentation you talked about energy performance contracts and how they could be used to finance energy projects. As a fiscal conservative, I always like it when the government doesn't have to pay and we find savings by using private sector innovation and financing. Maybe you could share with the committee a little about how that is something we might be able to expand from a federal perspective.
