That's a good question.
Attaining international recognition for the full extent of our continental shelf is a priority for the Government of Canada. It's a fundamental effort and, importantly, a legacy for future Canadians. This international recognition is vital to future resource development, so in December 2013 we filed a partial submission with the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf to define the outer limits of the continental shelf in the Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, Canada filed preliminary information concerning its continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean. These are issues that you have shown tremendous leadership on.
The 2014 survey, more precisely that you're talking about, for the eastern Arctic was completed in September using the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent and the CCGS Terry Fox. Surveys were conducted in the vicinity of the North Pole and the Lomonosov Ridge. In excess of 12,000 kilometres of bathymetric data were acquired and 746 kilometres of seismic reflection data was produced.
I can tell you that preparations for the next survey are under way.
