I was asking that question in the context of the review of the NDP and the new commitments to retrofitting. I lived through the 2008 and 2009 crash as an architect. There was a hollowing out of the industry and firms collapsed. It is the same kind of people who build all that stuff and do all that work so that is a concern.

This is our first of three sessions on inflation. It has been fascinating. I thank Dr. Kavanagh and Professor Whelan for attending and for their assistance to the committee. We look forward to seeing them again at the committee in the near future.
