This is the leading astronomical project in the world. Canada has a leading share in it now. That won't happen unless we come up with our money.
One thing that's not in our submission is the fact that not just the telescope structure and the dome--all the steel, the design, and the structure for that--but also the key technology that makes these very large telescopes work and gives them resolution and power beyond even those in space, adaptive optics, is being developed in Canada. Canadians are already designing. We will build the adaptive-optics system for that telescope that gives it its power, but we'll lose that without the funding.
