Thank you.
I'm the interloper for the day. I'm not a regular member of this committee. I was struck by a couple of things that were said.
First off, Mr. Breukelman, in terms of the work that you're doing in Gedex, especially in IMAX, we're connected in that way in that I've done a number of narrations for IMAX films. It is an interesting way to help Canadians understand the north and maybe take on a sense of why the north is important.
My question, however, is going to be in regard to the permanent participants, just getting a better sense of that.
Ms. French, if I understand correctly, you were saying that the permanent participants don't have the resources to fully participate in what's going on in the north. If that is the case, how are they going to speak for themselves in terms of what they want and don't want in their territories?
