Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Member is correct that the Model National Energy Code was recently updated. In the previous version, our target and good building practices was 25 percent better than the Model National Energy Code. We went back and did an evaluation of the updated code and compared it to the old code and how our good building practice was performed, and now our benchmark shows that good building practices still puts us about 10 percent in front of the new Model National Energy Code. We’re very pleased to see that we’re still out in front of what is on the energy code standard that is looking to be adopted across Canada. The code committee that’s working on the National Building Code in Canada is looking across all jurisdictions…(inaudible)…it through the next round of National Building Code updates, which I believe is in 2015. At that time, should the Model National Energy Code be incorporated into the National Building Code, then it would become part of the code when it’s adopted here. We’re watching that. We participate in the working group on that through some of our technical staff. That is my understanding of where that is headed.
