Mr. Speaker, I can tell the hon. minister how many. Fewer than 100 have been done since 1993. Of 50,000 buildings, 100 have been completed. It will be a 500 year program to energy retrofit its buildings. The government is devoid of ideas. It is a government that is out of gas, except for greenhouse gases it would seem.
We have an opportunity to save billions of dollars a year in operating costs, create thousands of jobs and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions by hundreds of millions of tonnes, yet the government refuses to act.
The demand side management of our energy resources is an idea whose time has come. Why will the government not get on with it?
