It goes back to my earlier response. At the risk of repeating myself, it's the idea that it's a cost rather than an investment. That's an enormous frustration for many of us.
There are many individual top-quality datasets out there that individual scientists, researchers, or groups have produced over the years. Not enough of it is digitized and made available digitally. There are still huge and very valuable treasure troves, as I call them, of data that is all on paper still.
I can give one really good example, and they're actually doing something really good about it; there is a lot of scanning and digitizing of this data. The Petawawa Research Forest, just up the valley here from Ottawa, is an amazing storage facility full of great data collected over the better part of a century. It is starting just now to be digitized and made available.
I think that's a great investment. Those sorts of datasets can really give us the history and help us understand the past and better understand and project a model of where we're going in the future. Investment in these sorts of endeavours to get data digitized—and there are other stories and places like Petawawa Research Forest—is a great investment.
