"Before any work gets going on your house, you need an energy advisor that can tell you where you're losing heat in the winter, or why your house is getting too hot in the summer," said Trudeau.
"We know that there's going to be a bigger demand for energy advisors now and in the coming years, as more people retrofit their homes," the prime minister continued.
"Today, we're announcing a $10 million commitment to recruit, train, and mentor up to 2,000 new energy advisors right across the country."
The program will aim to provide up to $5,000 in grants to homeowners who want to save on energy usage.
