“The Government’s announcement of creating the Centre for Greening Government is a good first step, however we still await details on how the government is defining ‘clean energy sources’, and how they intend to access cleaner energy sources across regions, including for northern communities, national parks and military bases,� said Duncan.
The announced measures mirror those recommended in a parliamentary committee report that Duncan initiated in 2012. The report, "Powering the Future of Federal Buildings: Energy Efficiency as a Goal" documented substantial potential savings to taxpayers through federal investments in improved energy efficiency in federal facilities.
“Furthermore, the NDP supplementary report recommended additional measures instituted by the U.S. federal government including directives prescribing reduced energy and water use for all federal departments and agencies, as well as the tracking of energy use,� added Duncan.

Dear Neighbours,
I hope you and your family are doing well.
It’s an honour to serve as your Member of Parliament in New Westminster – Burnaby, one of the most culturally diverse communities in Canada.
On Monday, New Democrats announced the implementation of the NDP’s national dental care program, which will save millions of families across Canada around $1,300 a year. In my riding of New Westminster – Burnaby, over 26,000 seniors, people living with a disability, and families struggling to pay the bills will no longer have to choose between a visit to the dentist or keep a roof over their head.
