Sure.
Maybe I could take a step back and say that NRC collaborates very closely with NRCan and other government departments on a number of important initiatives. In fact, the Canadian centre for housing technology, which is located in the NRC, is a shared facility among NRCan, NRC and CMHC. This is a platform for which many residential energy technologies are demonstrated and validated, and essentially it becomes a gateway to the marketplace.
We collaborate on federal programs like the program on energy R and D and on eco-EII—or eco-energy innovation initiative—programs, where the researchers come together and focus on R and D and developing the information necessary to develop the policies and inform technology development.
We also support the greening of the government through the centre for greening government, run out of Treasury Board. There is strong collaboration between many of the government departments that have a capacity in the area of energy efficiency to bring measures that are the most effective in terms of efficiency and most cost-effective to the Government of Canada buildings.
We have a lot to offer in this area. As my colleague Dr. Dumoulin said, we're ready and able to support these programs as they become available.
