It is not something that can be done in isolation to get the full benefit for the housing stock. If a unit is poorly rated, the benefit of this type of measure is lessened but it is not eliminated. There is still a significant benefit to be derived by the household in respect of the reduction in the use of energy. This is something that needs to be pursued, and perhaps it can be one of the recommendations in our report. I thank the witnesses.
