Brad, just what are your thoughts on just what this means for the U.S. pulling back the way they are?

Yeah, I think that's a really key point that we were trying to make as well, that while we wanted to encourage Canada to step forward, we were doing it in the context of the United States substantially stepping backwards.

Over the past several decades, the US has been the primary funder for ocean observation programs.

So to pull one out that Frederick mentioned earlier, the weather forecasting that you get, the 10-day weather forecast, exists because of a program called Argo.

And Argo is 4,000 floats that sit deep in the ocean and every 10 days they rise up to the surface and give us a snapshot of what the ocean temperature looks like.

And that snapshot is what allows weather forecasters to predict the atmosphere beyond five days.

Without the ocean, you basically can't do that because the ocean, again, is this memory piece.

What are your thoughts?
