One of the things that I think is important to allow us to do that effectively is to have a data policy under which the data is free. So look at what our data sources are, where we're measuring parameters in the north. We can do three-dimensional mapping of the north down to the resolutions I gave you earlier. That's topographical mapping. You can put the geological mapping on top of that. You can do the hydrology, which is a major piece of the geology associated with exploration, on top of that. And that hydrology can be measured as a function of what it is today and what it might have been in the past.
We have a situation in which 90% of our assets on the utilization side of the agency--we also have the exploration of space, which is a separate entity--can be used and focused on the north. We do surveys of the pipelines. We can see subsidence around a pipeline to millimetres. We can warn an oil company that there is an issue with a particular structure on their pipeline and change the character of the risk associated with that. We can see subsidence. We can see subsidence changing at the millimetre level. Because of that, we not only monitor that risk, we develop the character of that risk associated with mining. We are operational with respect to rock slides in B.C. So we see and track areas people have identified they're nervous about. So if they start to slip, Public Safety ends up closing the highway.
By having all this kind of data--and then the PolarSat satellite you're talking about, which is the communications infrastructure that allows you to get the data to the people in the north--you're going to change the acceleration of the development of the north. You will make it more operationally efficient, and you will make it safer for all of that activity that happens up in the north during the summer. And I think we have a major role to play with respect to the development of the north, because our assets can do those kinds of things today. We're the space highway, if you like, for the development of the north.
