Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to move to the topic of retrofits. Obviously, energy efficiency will be needed in a big way if we're going to get to net zero. We simply can't create all the energy that we need for what we will be using without it. I was somewhat happy to see in the fall economic statement, and expanded today in the climate plan that just came out, an announcement around retrofit grants for Canadian homeowners. It basically brings up the Harper-era ecoENERGY retrofit program.
I had a private member's bill in the last Parliament to bring that back, so I can't criticize it from that sense, but in this day and age, 10 years after the Harper government introduced it, we need something bolder. Efficiency Canada had a 2020 budget request for 10 times that amount for energy retrofits in buildings across Canada. That is clearly what we need, not just to get to the energy efficiency that we need, but to create those good middle-class jobs that Ms. Harder was talking about, across the country. Efficiency Canada calculates we could create one million jobs in energy efficiency alone if we just lived up to our pledges in the pan-Canadian framework.
Could you outline if you have that 10-time vision in the near future, because this is nice, but it's only one-tenth of what we need?
