Okay. I've been around that long too, in the municipal area. I remember that when there was a spike in oil prices in the 1970s, there were a number of CMHC programs. There was the RRAP, the NIP, there were MURBs—There was a whole variety of programs brought in, and some of them were aimed at the multiple–occupancy residential portfolio.
The recognition was that if you could get a large payback on energy efficiency from retrofits on homes, you could multiply it by 100 and 1,000, if you could come up with the right strategy on multiple–occupancy buildings.
I note in your research that there's quite a bit of work going on with respect to ground source heat pump retrofits for multiple-family buildings; there's a performance evaluation of a specific project with respect to multiple-unit residential buildings; there also are energy audits of high-rise residential buildings, and “Healthy High-Rise—A Guide to Innovation in the Design and Construction of High-Rise Residential Buildings”.
I guess what I'm trying to do is give you a bit of an overview. In my particular area, the housing stock is about 55% to 60% high-rise, multiple-occupancy buildings, and most of it was built before 1950.
Is there any program, or a strategic plan from a CMHC perspective that is directly related to municipalities, whereby they will do an overall energy audit and then strategically look at their housing stock? We don't have a lot of subdivisions. Mine is an older urban area. There's some retrofitting going on and a bit of infill, but the majority are those old residential buildings.
Is there a strategic position taken by CMHC across the country to look at urban communities, and perhaps some suburban and maybe even some rural, smaller towns where there are these large, multiple-occupancy residential complexes? In Toronto they're tearing down a whole complex, Regent Park, because of the deplorable state that housing stock got to.
From a CMHC perspective, what is happening in that area?
