Mr. Speaker, first, it is great to hear that the member opposite extolls the virtue of the eco-energy program because it was the Conservatives that cut it initially and our party fought to keep it. If it is such a job creator, which it is, and so good for the environment, we do not understand why it was cut in the first place.
We welcome the government's decision to put that back in the budget. However, we are mystified by the fact that it is only in it for one year.
Is this a good job creation program for just one year or is it a good job creation program? That is the question I would like to ask the member opposite.
