Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here, Mr. Minister.
Last month, in the House, you said that there had been no change in the department's publishing policy. However, we later learned about a brief indicating that a new policy has been in effect since February 2013. An American scientist even said that it was similar to a muzzling exercise of scientists and that it was an affront to the freedom of expression of scientists.
Could you explain the change that came into effect and, in particular, how it could align with our policy for the Arctic.
