Dr. Brian Motherway:
What is granted aided is ultimately a decision for the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, although the agency advises them on such issues. In regard to grants for windows, in the context of limited budgets and trying to find the best bang for the buck in energy terms, windows are expensive. We have not focused on that issue. We are looking at including grants for windows in the context of the efficiency credits, which means there will be a benefit indirectly. All options remain on the table in terms of what might be grant aided in the future. We advise the Government on such matters.
