Thank you.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
Mr. MacDonald, you talked about the mapping and surveying in some of the rural areas. I'm glad you brought that up, because I think that a lot of the areas, certainly in the riding that I represent, are very coastal and I think accuracy is important. The other side of the time frame is some testimony we've heard at this study and within this committee about the importance of the information being accurate and how over time things change, especially around coastal areas.
Have you mapped out what the appropriate time frame would be in order for this to be an effective tool, given that small little communities might not even have the resources to conduct surveys and ongoing surveys?
There's just some concern there. We want this to be a good, effective resource. How does time factor into it? Could you just address that?
