Quite accurately. I would perhaps correct you on a few points.
Under our mandate and those of all the networks of centres of excellence, we must very clearly try to associate with the private sector in order to develop a strategic research sector for Canada. Consequently, there is nothing blameworthy about our association with the private sector. For example, since the very start of ArcticNet, we have had extensive collaborations with Manitoba Hydro, Manitoba's hydro supplier, and that never raised a problem because there was no perception problem.
In the case of the oil industry, this isn't really costing us any less. It's enabling us to do more work, to secure more data on the region. It's very interesting for us because we can get additional data for our large-scale studies, both in time and in space. It also enables us to recapitalize the Amundsen's equipment and to develop new research projects in the Arctic.
