Mr.Chair, I did not get an answer to the question. I asked the minister specifically what the percentage increase has been in three years. He has no answer.
In 2006 the government killed $5.6 billion of climate change funding, including a commercial buildings retrofit program to help our companies and our commercial operations achieve energy efficiency. Now we learn the government is killing an eco-energy program for everyday Canadian householders, everyday Canadian homeowners, co-op and condo owners who want to do the right thing and become more energy efficient.
Let me ask the minister this next question. He is very big on metrics. He says he is doing an assessment of the program. What has been the net effect of the eco-energy program on driving energy efficiency retrofits out of the underground economy?
