Thank you.
To follow up, as you know, since becoming Prime Minister, Prime Minister Harper has made eight visits to the north since 2006; he's made that a priority. And he said back in 2008:
As Canadians, we see ourselves as a northern people. The great white north is as much a part of Canada's identity as the red maple leaf.
He has also outlined a four-point northern strategy for strengthening Canada's Arctic sovereignty, protecting the fragile environment, promoting economic and social development, giving northerners more control over their political and economic destiny.
I am wondering if you could comment on that and the priority this government has given the north, more so than any other government in Canada's history, and how that has benefited the north.
