I'd say it's primarily based on cold climate innovation. Being in a relatively isolated jurisdiction in Canada, our business community has had to become very innovative because businesses here often work in isolation and don't have access to the specialized personnel or materials they require. So they're innovative in their practices. The cold climate also requires them to be more innovative in terms of road construction, heating, and those sorts of things.
A number of years ago Canada was funding innovation centres across the country, and the Yukon went through a process to see if there was an opportunity to have a cold climate centre of excellence here. We do have one. However, we did notice that Canada withdrew a lot of its support. This was a nationwide thing.
I think there's a lot of opportunity to bring research to the territory, particularly in relation to the cold climate. It could be for heating, or cooling, as the latter's only the opposite of heating. We've seen road research going on. We do see some tire manufacturers and automobile companies bringing their vehicles up north to test them in a cold climate.
So that's really an area that I think we're underutilizing in the territory. We have the expertise and we should be exporting that knowledge.
