The investment in geoscientists has dropped dramatically over the last several years. I saw a certification last year by somebody who got it from Surveys Canada, at that time they had one crew in the field. That is unacceptable. We've had a geological survey for the last fifty years and it's been really active and well supported. And it's not just about resources either; it's about earthquakes and aquifers and radon gas and a whole pile of things.
