Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Dr. Barnes, for joining us.

You've mentioned that businesses operating in the Arctic, and in the northern parts of Canada that aren't in the Arctic, have a lot of on-the-ground experience. What do you think of the idea of creating a circumpolar business forum for those businesses to share best practices, both from a business perspective and with respect to responsible resource development? Do you think that would be useful?
