Thank you.
I'll give you a bit of background. I was born in Churchill, Manitoba. I started school in Chesterfield Inlet, up in the Northwest Territories. I won't try to pronounce the names you have on the map here.
I had the pleasure of speaking at a conference in Inuvik during the Muskrat Jamboree. I went back for seconds of Arctic char and caribou at their community dinner. I did not go back for seconds of muskrat.
I put that out there because I do have a personal interest in the Arctic and in conservation in the Arctic. During our travels so far, we have met with a lot of indigenous people in the south here, many of whom expressed a sincere interest in seeing new areas protected, perhaps as indigenous protected areas with a different future from what has been seen in the past.
I know you don't speak for the Inuit, but I would like to ask all three of you whether you have a sense that there is support for protected areas in the Arctic. As well, what are the most important things we could do to gain the confidence of the Inuit that we do share common objectives around protected areas moving forward?
Perhaps we can start with Mr. Taylor.
