If they aren't forthcoming and the data is freely available in any kind 
of electronic format, we could easily obtain it ourselves -- although 
their co-operation is desirable.

We probably shouldn't proceed without their support however, as it would 
be a duplication of effort -- unless of course we intend to go 
canada-wide soon after.

Cory.
