Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for being here and for very helpful and thoughtful presentations today.
Mr. Dalgleish, I'll start with you, given your time constraints. You mentioned in your opening remarks that you were concerned about the possibility of Canada's losing some leadership role on the world stage in this area.
In December, through NRCan, the federal government finalized a new Energy Star rating system and labelling system for residential homes at least, at a minimum. I believe that the program over time will be expanded to commercial and office buildings as well.
Are you familiar with the program? Do you have any thoughts on the program, and will this type of program help us to regain some leadership?
