I'll ask another broad question of all of you here. It comes directly from the following statement by Positive Energy. One reason I think we're talking about this is that energy information is crucial to developing good policy. We have different groups from various angles coming at this.
One of the paragraphs here says:
Credibility is the key criterion for a functioning energy information system. High quality, credible energy information must be relevant to users' needs; accurate and reliable; timely and punctual; coherent and comparable; accessible and clear.... Furthermore, to avoid political bias, energy information systems should operate at arm's length from the government.
I'd like to ask for your thoughts on that last statement especially.
With regard to the business of the Canadian energy system as it stands now, most people I talked to at the meeting last night said they just go to the U.S. Energy Information Administration or to the IEA, to get their information because it's so much easier and more comprehensive.
To me, it's a worry if we're going to the U.S or international agencies for information on our own system. That and this arm's length aspect, I wonder if you could comment on that.
