How will Canadians be better served? What will taxpayers get for their money?
Weather information has a strategic value that gets realized only when people factor that information into decision making. This value to individuals or organizations is real in terms of personal safety, security of property and economic benefits. The more people use this information, the greater the value to society that is created. The Internet provides the ability to reach more people more often with accurate, detailed and timely weather information therefore multiplying by many fold the value of this service. • How do you see the future of this way of delivering weather information? One expected change in the future is the compatibility of Internet technology with other communication media, in particular with portable devices. This will further increase accessibility to information as users will no longer need to be sitting at a desk to access information.
