Regulatory harmonization is our number one issue. It took Canada 10 years to catch up to the United States in terms of energy efficiency levels, which I mentioned earlier in my presentation.
This government has worked through the regulatory co-operation council. They put in a lot of effort. Essentially NRCan and the Department of Energy get together and they look at ways in which they can make harmonization matter.
It's through that process that you're going to get more energy efficiency standards. There's continuous improvement. Each government can set stricter energy efficiency standards, and they will do that over time. We've seen this. A lot of our products have gone through many iterations of this process and now we have products that are very energy efficient. For example, a modern refrigerator uses less energy than a 60-watt light bulb for an entire year.
This has been a huge success. The Energy Star program is separate from that process, and I want to make sure that's clear and that people understand that today. That is a competition that manufacturers go through to try to be the best, the top 20% to 25%, and that also moves over time. Through increasingly strict minimum energy efficiency standards and this Energy Star thing, you get more energy efficiency savings.

I have a couple of questions for Ms. Hatch.
Imagine for a minute that you're standing in a new Canadian home, complete with new appliances. Can you give us an idea of which of those appliances would disappear if the Energy Star became mandatory?

It targets all appliances. Actually, “appliance” is not defined in it, so it could go beyond home appliances to electronics and anything under the Energy Star program right now.

Okay.
I believe one of you said earlier that this would primarily affect the lower-cost appliances. Is that correct?

Yes. It's usually what we will call entry-level products: top-mount refrigerators, freezers and top-load washers.

Maybe richer people who buy the most expensive, top-of-the-line appliances wouldn't be affected as much, but it would affect the working-class folk who are living paycheque to paycheque the most.

It's a consumer choice. There will be more options available. Energy Star comes at a premium, so yes, it's usually the entry-level models that are not Energy Star.

I believe one of you mentioned that Energy Star is a trademark of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Is that correct? If the Canadian government made Energy Star mandatory, is it the U.S. government that sets the requirements for Energy Star as well, for qualifying?

Yes, that's right. If you made everything Energy Star, it would be the end of the Energy Star program here in Canada.

Yes. It's a voluntary program. It's run by the U.S. EPA. Currently, they go through their whole standards process there. Depending on what happens to the program.... It's voluntary and it's operated by the U.S. government.
