Q4 - Will you commit to investing in energy efficient housing for lower income communities, and ensuring that the costs of retrofits are not passed down to tenants?

Laine Johnson

Yes. I will take advantage of municipal, provincial and federal programs available to improve energy efficiencies within Ottawa households. Many highrises in Ottawa are in disrepair and extremely energy-inefficient, contributing to energy wastage and climate change. Action and funding should be directed at ensuring existing private building stock is upgraded. Cross-referencing with the existing data from the Energy and Water Reporting and Benchmarking (EWRB) could be used to identify the poorest performing buildings to prioritize action and funding.
