[PROJ] Canada Lambert Conformal Conic Projection

[James Banting]

Thanks Even.

They’re aren’t a ton of ortho imagery described by STAC so this will be a nice addition. I appreciate the tips as well. 
I always learn something when posting in the mailing list. It’s great.

Re: the authority. I guess then it would be something like: 
authority = Government of Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Centre for Topographic Information
code = CANLAMB

James,
 
Several points:
 
- this is actually EPSG:3979, "NAD83(CSRS) / Canada Atlas Lambert"
  The only difference is the switch between the latitude of 1st and 2nd
  std parallel, but this is numerically equivalent for LCC_2SP.
  The following remarks are then a bit auxiliary now :-)
 
- there's an extra space at the end of the top name
 
- authority = CANLAMB-CSRS would be odd to me. An authority must be something
  identifiable, like some form of organization, that can issue several
  records. CANLAMB-CSRS would be more an id for this CRS for some authority
  XXXX. But I do see in the PDF you mention that they use this...
