The ecoENERGY Retrofit-Homes program has successfully created jobs across Canada and it has enabled homeowners to save on average 20% of their energy consumption. Our decision is evidence of prudent management on the government’s part. We want to make sure that we can have balanced budgets in this climate of fiscal restraint. The program has reached its goal of 250,000 registered homeowners. We are no longer accepting new registrations because it is crucial that those in charge of the program make sure that all registered participants get a chance to participate.
