Thanks for the comments from the Minister. Those are good comments and I totally agree, you know, if we can do it on a larger scale than just individual units, that’s definitely where the Housing Corporation should be coming from. He also said we would have to do the work. I think that’s what I and others have been asking for all along, is to do the work required to… Actually, I’m not saying throw an individual woodstove into every house without the work being done. I am asking for that work to be done.
My next question is sort of related to that. I’m very pleased to hear the Minister’s comments on his interest in the central heating systems, though, and I hope he will bring that to committee soon and follow up on that. I think it’s a real opportunity for saving money and so on with due diligence on the economics of it and so on.
The option for a work/rent exchange or some other mechanism of engaging tenants, as we’ve discussed in the past, did not come through strongly in the new strategy I’ve seen, and I still see lots of opportunities for that sort of thing, engaging our tenants. Is there any further work being done at the policy level to explore options there? Thank you.
