LIBERALS REPLAYING THE ENERGY AUDIT PROGRAM

The federal government is looking to train 2,000 more people to do energy audits as it tries to get a new green home renovation program off the ground.

Natural Resources Minister Seamus O'Regan says the government will provide up to $10 million in contracts to recruit, train and mentor 2,000 energy advisers to advise people how to cut their home energy use.

It is but a mere fraction of the $40,000, interest-free loan program for home-energy retrofits Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised during the 2019 federal election.

Energy retrofits could include installing better windows, improving insulation, upgrading to a more efficient furnace or adding solar panels.
