There obviously are a lot of untapped resources in the north. We're going to continue to be inundated by folks who want to go in there.
The good news in this is that we do in fact have Canadian resources being put into this, not just government resources. You mentioned private resources. There is a consortium of philanthropic groups under the name of the Arctic Research Foundation. You may have seen the work they did over the past year or two in cooperation with government partners, but with private sector money in it as well, to find the lost Franklin vessels. Their mandate is they want to look at that as part of the history of the nation, but there is a much broader interest in ocean acidification, the whole issue around the impacts of climate change, and the changes of the ocean and the land in the Arctic.
This is a group that has a keen interest, and fortunately for us, they also have some financial resources that they can put into it. It's making a made-in-Canada private sector research capacity. That's coupled with what we have. Our co-management partners are also putting their resources into this, as well as our territorial government. We bridge all of that funding together. Where it's possible, we use one platform and we may have a multitude....
The season is short, but the days are long when we're there. When you're on board one of those vessels, it's a 24-hour operation. I remember the first time I was on one of them, I just didn't sleep. It's amazing how much work you can get done in a 24-hour period if you sort of park the sleeping for a while.
It is something we're getting a lot of progress on.
