Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Fraser, can I go to bullet point 6 of your presentation? You say, “Let me now turn to our examination of the environmental regulatory system. You talk about the fragility of the northern ecosystems being greater than that of those in the south. You say. “There are also profound changes taking place in the North as a result of climate change and...long-range transport of air pollutants”, and so on.
In your audit of what you call “sustaining development” as opposed to “sustainable development” of the Northwest Territories, did you examine the state of science being conducted by the federal government to underpin precisely your examination of the environmental regulatory system?
