I'm going to start and then share with Mr. Bevington.
Thank you for being here today. I should note there was a time when there was a problem in terms of capacity for you. I remember asking questions in the House back in 2008: where was the board? It took the government two years to actually get you up and going. I'm glad to see you here and functioning. It should be noted, though, that it was an institute without a board for two years, from 2008 to 2010. But t's good to see you here.
I'm curious about how you work with other partners in other countries. As you will know, the whole Arctic Council idea was to web circumpolar countries together to make decisions to advocate for the north. How do you do that as an institute, in other words, in working with what other countries? And how does that fit into your present day-to-day operations of sharing information and who you work with?
