That's a very good question. I don't think at the federal level our members would say they've been that frustrated. We work with the Great Lakes Forestry Centre, for instance; the Atlantic Forestry Centre, the Pacific Forestry Centre; the Northern Forestry Centre; and the Canadian Wood Fibre Centre. Our institute has a lot of connections to some very excellent government departments in the Canadian Forest Service. FPInnovations is a government-run company.
I think what happens, in general, at the federal level is the science and research there is published, and that's great. What maybe tends to be problematic is when there are partnerships or cooperative research undertakings where data is produced, and some of the organizations have paid some money or membership dues to produce that work, that data, the outputs, and results of that research, and it tends to be restricted a lot of the time to the members who have paid. That's where there's a little bit of a problem.
And I can understand that to some degree. If you're in a cooperative arrangement where it's government, industry, academia—quite a few players—and some of those players are paying money up front to get the science and research done, they might have a proprietary right. I'm not saying it's definite or absolute, but at least it's to get it first or to receive what they paid for. That's where there are some problems, but, in general, with the federal government and the Forest Service, and these other organizations I've named, it's been a pretty good relationship, and there's a really good sharing of information there.
