I remember I was working on a project, and the senior geologist had 20 years of experience. He was telling me that most of his time was spent in permitting rather than exploration work. I can see where the value would be there.
I'm putting together a few things from what Mr. MacLean and Mr. Ferguson were saying.
Mr. MacLean, you were saying that we gather all of this data from satellites, and we are able to compile it.
Mr. Ferguson also noted a little bit about national standards being somewhat necessary.
Have I put that together, that both of you are calling for national standards that would coordinate the various levels of data? Who should be responsible for that? What would be the cost, and in what sorts of timelines could that be done? I can see how it would be useful for data collection to be applied in the north.
I guess I'll let Mr. Ferguson start, and then Mr. MacLean, if he has any comments.
