Abstract: The Canada-France Ecliptic Plane survey used the CFLS-VW data to, perform an exploration of roughly 250 square degrees of near-ecliptic, and about 50 square degrees of off-ecliptic sky, sensitive to 23rd, magnitude Kuiper Belt objects out to about 100 astronomical units., Kavelaars (this meeting) reviews the project and the current incomplete, knowledge of the orbital structure of the outer Solar System., Here we will discuss the future lever arms for searches of the outer, Solar System, relative to currently-existing surveys that searched for, numerous medium-scale Kuiper Belt objects as well as rarer faint ones., We discuss how CFHT-Megacam could be used for large competitve searches, for (1) additional distant dwarf planets even larger than Pluto and, Eris, (2) characterization of the recently-discovered high-latitude, component of the Kuiper Belt, or (3) vastly improved statistics of, the fine structure of the belt that is created during giant planet, migration.
