Thank you.
Thank you to the witnesses.
What I am looking for is some sort of summary statistic or goal or financial measure to assess how well we are doing. For example, since 2005 the U.S. federal government has invested $3.1 billion to improve efficiency of federal government facilities, and they say the result has been cost savings of approximately $8.5 billion over the life of the energy saving initiatives.
I wonder if either B.C. or Manitoba has some such summary statistics that could provide a measure of your success or otherwise in what you are doing.
Before you answer, I'll just mention one thing for Manitoba and one thing for B.C. Manitoba has something called the green building coordination team, which assesses the impact of policies, so perhaps through that group you have some measure of success.
In the case of British Columbia, you talked a lot about carbon neutrality. I wonder if this objective has been met, and if so, how much did it cost to achieve it, how much did the government invest, and what were the benefits arising from it?
Those are my questions for both provinces.
