Mr. Speaker, over a year ago the House of Commons passed a motion that directed the government to energy retrofit all of its 50,000 publicly owned buildings. Given our obligation under Kyoto to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and given the obvious cost savings benefits associated with the demand side management of our energy resources, I would like the Minister of Public Works and Government Services to answer one simple question. How many of these 50,000 buildings has the government energy retrofitted since it was directed to do so by a motion in the House over a year ago?
In the House of Commons on March 27th, 2000. See this statement in context.
