Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for your presentations. I learned quite a bit. It's good to see some familiar faces here.
My first question is for Alasdair. Alasdair, you and I worked quite a bit on interventions in front of the Utility and Review Board here around energy poverty. If I can still be a member of community-based organizations, we are both members of the Affordable Energy Coalition and we've worked a lot on energy poverty.
Taking the idea of energy poverty, which is the relationship between your energy use, the cost of energy, and your income, if a household spends more than 6% to 8% of its income on energy, then they have a high energy burden and are likely in energy poverty.
I wanted to ask you about energy poverty specifically, and how solutions to energy poverty would fit into a poverty reduction strategy. I'm thinking along the lines of the old EGLIH, the EnerGuide for Low-Income Households program, which was maybe in 2005. It was shortly after the election that it was cut.
I wanted to ask you your thoughts on energy poverty as a piece of the framework.
