- 523 - CONCLUSIONS The status review of the provincial front indicates that the level of participation in the remote sensing program is remarkably uneven. Although many reasons could be identified, local policies and priorities exert the major influence on the situation. Yet, all provincial governments in Canada are conscious of resource, land use and environmental management, as well as budget. If remote sensing achievements are projected onto this consciousness, provincial benefits should become obvious. As for the actual activities in progress now, unfortunately, in the majority of provinces the plans of committees and func tions of existing centres do not emphasize interpretation, let alone multidisciplinary interpretation. The main tasks seem to be limited to information service to the public, lending available interpretation equipment, and constituting a mechanical link between the province and the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing. I believe that without intensive interpretation production at the regional centres, the process of introducing remote sensing into the society can be only slow. Further, isolated interpreters often duplicate the discovery of and solution to problems, each through his own perspective, while as a team of specialists, they could devote otherwise wasted energy to further productivity. For example, a townsite selection by photo interpretation can be made separately by a geomorphologist, a forester or a civil engineer. Yet each report might not be fully satisfactory in the light of the other two. In addition to having professional advantages of working together, the multidisciplinary specialists working in an interpretation laboratory equipped with modern instruments have full-time access to the most desirable tools. Since it is most practical to centralize expensive equipment, due to the costly capital investment and the efficiency of modern systems, a team of specialists in a well-equipped interpretation lab can best prove the value and economy of remote sensing. But where are these interpretation talents? Many resource surveys, based on intensive use of aerial photographs, were initiated by federal and provincial governments in the early sixties. This has gradually produced expertise in image inter pretation through research and production. In particular, forest inventories, land capability inventories, forest protection, highway engineering, geological and geophysical surveys, fish and wildlife and water resources management, land use planning, agricultural crop inventory, and many other programs have been using the recognized and hidden interpreta tion talents of both professionals and technicians.
