A federal incentive program designed to get homeowners to green their homes has been cancelled ahead of schedule.
Homeowners were eligible for rebates up to $5,000 to switch to more energy efficient furnaces, windows, doors and more.
So, what sort of message does this send on Ottawa's commitment to energy efficiency?

Their job is to ensure skilled workers get a decent wage, benefits and are treated with dignity in the workplace.
But lately, it seems that unions in Canada have very little bargaining power.
CTV's Daiene Vernile discusses the future of trade unions with journalist and author Geoffrey Stevens.
Marillac Place
Pregnancy rates among Ontario teenagers have been on the decline over the past twenty five years.
But for young women who do find themselves expecting, and with no where to turn, Kitchener's Marillac Place offers a safe place to stay, and a whole lot more.
