Madam Chair, again, as I have informed my colleague a number of times in the House, LIDAR is not used in Environment Canada's ongoing air quality monitoring, but we will maintain our capacity for possible future applications. It is an important technology, but at the moment, there are no clients in Canada who wish to avail themselves of the technology. However, as I have said, we will maintain our capacity in this area.
In the House of Commons on May 15th, 2012. See this statement in context.
