Perhaps I can start off on the points I brought up—the federal government taking a leadership position and insisting that for any lease it brings in, for spaces acquired through a leasing program, it adopts green leasing language in all of it. I think it would be ideal if they could unilaterally mandate that green lease clauses be part of any commercial lease to strengthen the mandate that owners might have to improve efficiency in buildings. That would apply to their rental buildings. However, I think if you're developing programs that are targeting existing buildings, you also have to work with provinces and utilities to bring in sustainable incentive programs that will encourage energy efficiency in the existing building stock.
