Thank you, Madam Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for being involved in this exercise. We are aware that this has been done in very tight deadlines, and we really appreciate your availability. You know your subject well, and we are very pleased.
My first question is for Mr. Hill from CMHC.
You mentioned in your presentation that CMHC is encouraging the development of green housing and that it has a premium refund program for borrowers of up to 25%.
How long has this program been around?

The mortgage loan insurance refund program has existed since 2010 for the MURBs, I believe, and since in 2012 for the single-family homes. Essentially, CMHC offers up to a 25% refund based on the level of energy performance in new builds and retrofits for energy performance. We coordinate the program with Natural Resources Canada, which provides us with its EnerGuide rating systems. People just need to produce their rating system for their home, and then CMHC and NRCan have a seamless system between the two organizations that allows us to acknowledge the increase in energy efficiency through a mortgage loan insurance rebate.

The conditions to reach this 25% are determined by very specific eco-energy criteria. Have I understood that properly? I see that I have.
Is this program currently effective? Surely you have amassed some data since 2010. Is there a good claim rate by clients?

I can provide you with an indication of uptake.
For the multi-unit sector, since 2010 through the early days of 2018, the number of apartment buildings—we call them files—that have been through amounts to 181 projects, and we've refunded close to $7 million. This is across about 17,500 dwelling units. If you take those figures, you'll see that we've provided, per dwelling unit, about a $400 refund for the property owners in those units on that side.
On the single-family homes, between 2012 and 2017 we had 4,200 houses through the system. The total refund was about $5.4 million, which amounts to about $1,200 per application.

Thanks.
I wonder if Mr. Hill could advise us on this. The premium is refunded up to 25%, and what is it based on? If you're more energy-efficient, do you get more back?

Wow. That's good news.
On the 25% refund through NRCan, is that regionally applied, or are there times when it's based on applications and it might get eaten up by the big centres? Does it make it to some of the smaller areas in the territories? Do you guys save a little bit of money for all the areas of that, or is it based on application?

I can't speak to the prioritization for the mortgage loan insurance refund project, but certainly for the funding that's coming forward on the national housing strategy, we're going to make an effort to make sure we get regional impacts so that we don't lose the small providers. There will be a giant sucking sound, there's no doubt about it, from the GTA and Vancouver.

I want to go back to the CMHC piece and the 25%. I have a couple of questions.
You mentioned the 4,200 single homes that took advantage of that program, and the 181 projects and so on. When you do that program, does CMHC have a target for it? Is the target driven by dollars or by budget, or is there a targeted number that you have for it across the country? How do you allocate the money regionally across the country? Is it done proportionally? How is it done?

To my knowledge, we have no targets, and I can confirm that when we come back with the confirmation of the numbers on the MLI program. Thus far it's been application-based, so when the applications come in, we deal with them. We haven't run out of money yet to fund the program, so we've been taking applications as they come in.

The other part of that question is, in terms of promoting the program, who are your key partners? Are they the provincial governments or the municipalities, or is it the private sector? Who's involved in promoting that program?

If you're referring to the Green Home program and the multi-unit residential energy-efficient mortgage loan insurance refund program, the primary agent we've been working through is the mortgage loan insurance industry, through the lenders, the realtors, and the agents, largely because they're probably the first point of contact that a buyer would have when they're going to buy a new home or going to their bank to set up a loan for a renovation. It's a strategic decision, largely because the CMHC's commercial side deals with that industry.
I do know that an effort was going on later in 2017 and is going on in 2018 to try to broaden the base by spreading the knowledge around to the energy-efficient builders out there by saying, “By the way, if you buy my product, there are utility incentives and a CMHC incentive and there's an NRCan....” Whatever it is, the range of incentives could be presented at the point of purchase before they actually start thinking about finance, but by and large, to date we've been working with our partners in the mortgage loan insurance and lending industry.
