There's no doubt that these moonshots are of such a scale that Canada can't do it alone. There has to be international co-operation. By its nature, these large international co-operations involve the sharing of data very freely among hundreds of scientists.
It's very important that data is not released before it has been properly assessed by the experts, so you have to have the mechanisms whereby there are these opportunities for two experts in that field to come together and come to a conclusion, even if it's only preliminary. They can then be helped by others. There has to be a certain degree of internal work before you release it to the general public or you won't have the peer review on articles that is very necessary as well.
I think that all of these moonshots are, by their nature, international because they are of a scope where the particular topic is something that will be of interest across the world.
I should also point out that these major research projects also push technology right to the frontier. I mean, we're working on things with our projects right now that will result in improved detection devices that will, for example, reduce the dose you need to use in positron emission tomography. There are different things in different areas, but there are effects of pushing technology or even pushing companies to improve their technology that result in immediate and helpful new things.
