The excuse--I'm going to use the term--from the government, saying the reason they put a notice on the website on a Friday afternoon and didn't tell anyone was because they had to assess the program, worried me. I thought, have they not been assessing it all along? Clearly, they have been.
One of the earlier witnesses talked about momentum and that when you get a new program into the public it takes a certain amount of education for people to get familiar with it, to trust it, to know how it will actually work for their home or their business. Then to cancel it, you stall the momentum, and there's a momentum gap between what people are experiencing and what they might be able to get at.
Your association also has connections to the United States. If you're familiar with this, how does Canada compare with the cancelled EnerGuide retrofit program and what is being proposed in the U.S.?
