Thank you very much.
One of the functions of the commission is to counsel the Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency. As you know, the Minister of Health and Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency will be taking on the chairmanship of the Arctic Council in the course of the next few months.
Are you going to meet with her to advise her, in particular with respect to the priorities Canada should put forward at the Arctic Council? I would also like to know what you think of the priorities the government has set out. Do you think that they are the right ones? We have heard about development of northern communities, development of the north and of natural resources. These concerns are more national than international.
Do you not think that we should instead prioritize questions like climate change, the management of fisheries and of risk, for instance the risk of oil spills? What do you think our priorities should be? Will you be meeting with the minister to advise her on that?
