Thank you for the question.
Certainly, addressing energy efficiency is critically important. It is actually the low-hanging fruit in terms of ensuring that we are being as effective as possible. It reduces the amount of additional generation capacity that we have to build.
These energy efficiency programs will ensure that we are reducing emissions from our buildings sector, all while helping Canadians save money on their energy bills. For example, the codes acceleration fund will support provinces, territories and stakeholders to adopt and implement the highest performance of the national model energy code, ensuring that we build things more efficiently right from the start. The deep retrofit accelerator, for its part, will aim to break down barriers and make it easier to undertake deep retrofits on existing units to make them more affordable.
These are the kinds of programs that help and support good jobs in communities like Vaughan. In fact, they can help support companies like JELD-WEN, a window and door manufacturer that I commended last summer for being among the winners of the 2022 Energy Star awards.
