Personally, I don't work a lot in comparison to the U.S., or to Canada. But I do, in my job, evaluate countless technologies on an ongoing basis.
Inevitably, when somebody wants to share something with you, they want you to sign an NDA. The very first thing I say is, no, tell me everything that's in the public domain and convince me enough that I want to sign an NDA. The reality is that for the majority, if their patents are in place, all of their data is already public. If they've been out telling the story about the technology, they already have a whole suite and, mostly, the financial data and performance data is already public. If you have a professor who is already published, their data is public.
I think there's a huge fallacy around what is actually not public. When it comes to operating data, as I said before, there is not an operating point in a plant that isn't reported in Canada, and it's not just in oil and gas. I've worked in natural resources my entire life across this entire country. We are such a transparent country in our reporting, so this fallacy of what's not in the public domain is actually a fallacy.
What it isn't is aggregated well and transparent for people to be able to use. That's the difference.
