We need the Ann and Barry guide now, if the Minister can produce it.
Let us round the figure down and say there are 2 million homes - housing units - in the country. The Minister is saying there are 1.3 million primary residences. That suggests, then, that at least 700,000 homes are not accounted for. The Minister has already contradicted himself when he said the tenants in those housing units would be getting the grant. Leaving aside primary residences, how many households will be getting the so-called conservation grant by virtue of the fact that those involved are living as tenants in a housing unit? There is a gap of 0.7 million here and the Minister needs to account for it.
