Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think these two presentations have shown very impressive technology and use of this information. I'm beginning to understand how valuable this mapping information is for kick-starting exploration and later extraction, so thank you for your presentation.
I also like how you make efforts to share this information with industry and public institutions. Being from an academic institution, I'm glad you're helping to graduate so many master's and Ph.D. students.
I'm interested in just how far GEM can go in terms of identifying all types of energy sources. I'm especially interested in how geomapping might be employed to identify and map renewable resources such as geothermal, wind, waves, tidal, solar, anything that would be renewable. I envision maps that would look like these, but would have different kinds of resources other than oil or other minerals.
Just to follow up on Ms. Kirkwood's point that this again might reduce the risks for industries that are interested in investing in those kinds of resources in the north, does the department have any kind of capacity to use this geomapping to go beyond mapping mineral deposits and perhaps map other types of renewable energy resources?
