Okay, thank you.
Mr. McDorman, do you think that we should have a special deal with the United States on the Northwest Passage, similar to what we had with the St. Lawrence Seaway?
They are our biggest trading partner, they are our close ally on defence. There's no big problem right now with Russia, as we do have NATO. What if we had an agreement with the Americans? Assume that they might bring minerals, or oil, or products out of Alaska, and that it might be better for them to ship to Europe.
Do you think we should sit down with them and have some sort of a different arrangement, similar to the St. Lawrence Seaway, because of our proximity to them? Even on the defence side, maybe it's to our advantage that they have military ships there, in the long run.
