Again, it is another one of these programs that has been a massive success in Canada, not only because people are educated on the importance of energy efficiency with these kinds of programs being available, but they're seeing savings in their pocketbooks when they make energy efficiency decisions in the house.
I have some statistics. Over 94,000 Canadian households have completed energy efficiency upgrades, and they're eligible for grants. Through the expansion of the new program, which was expanded by about $300 million, we have increased the grant levels available. We anticipate that 200,000 more homes will be able to take advantage of and participate in the program. That has an extra economic effect of $2.4 billion across Canada.
It's a very successful program. We've experienced great feedback on it. More importantly, the provinces have come online to match funds with us on these programs, to make it even more attractive to the Canadian homeowner to do the right thing, become more energy efficient, and save money along the way.
