On the Northwest Passage, the disagreement with the U.S. over various waterways that, of course, are known as the Northwest Passage is a dispute over the legal status of the waters and not over the ownership of sovereignty. I think that is important to point out. The waters of the Canadian Arctic archipelago include the waters of the Northwest Passage and internal waters of Canada and therefore fall under Canadian jurisdiction.
As a matter of policy, Canada permits shipping through Canadian Arctic waters so long as conditions related to security, the environment, and the Inuit interests are met. I can say that on January 28 of this year, the government introduced legislation expanding the area of application of the Arctic Waters Pollution Prevention Act. Minister Prentice did this, as well as Minister Baird, and he is taking steps towards implementing a mandatory ship reporting system in all Canadian Arctic waters.
So here again, we are assuming our responsibilities and we will continue to assume them.
