Thank you, and thank you all for being here today.
I want to start with Ms. Vaillancourt and talk about data sharing and openness of data. We've heard a lot about this in past sessions here and today. I know from my previous life working on ecosystem analysis that it was extremely frustrating at all levels trying to get at data, whether you had to pay exorbitant amounts to get it or whether, as Ms. Romero mentioned, it was coming back late and incomplete.
There are also interprovincial differences. I know that in British Columbia I could get some mapping data easily. Some cost a lot of money. I could go to the United States and get anything free and quickly. In Alberta it costs hundreds of dollars just to get a map of the municipal boundaries in Alberta.
I'm just wondering if you could talk about the need for some agreement on data sharing within Canada and how that would advance this problem we have with energy data. Then I'll follow up with some other problems, but I just want to get your comments about whether that would help us along the way.
