Government Operations committee  No.

Government Operations committee  That's where it needs to go, as well. To accomplish some of that facility renewal I referred to, that infrastructure renewal, you're going to have to look at broadening the term. By using that energy savings, over a longer period of time, to pay for more capital investment to make those buildings perform better, they'll be around for a little longer.

Government Operations committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good morning, committee members. My name is Dave Seymour, from Ameresco Canada. I'm vice-president of our eastern region, based here in Ottawa. Our company was founded in 1973 in Toronto. Our specialty at that time was energy management engineering. It was innovative at the time and our focus was on existing buildings mostly, but we were also involved in some new construction or new building innovation in those days.
