I think it is absolutely essential. In particular, I recently had a conversation in Ottawa with Patrick Borbey, the president of CanNor, who was asking me why we're focusing on governance and not on the business side of the implementation of the modern treaties.
Of course, we are doing that in some way by helping people achieve an education, but one of the aspects of the implementation of the treaties that we really need to start focusing on is how to build sustainable business opportunities so that people can stay in the north and govern the north. I think there's a lot to be learned. I was in Kiruna, Sweden. As you know, it's at the 70th or 76th parallel. It's a vibrant community with many small businesses, many homes, and a lot of people living there.
I think some of the issues facing us that could be addressed at such a forum are transportation, and the transport of goods in particular, if we do produce in the north, and also housing. Housing is an issue facing us every single day here. It has actually slowed down the exploration industry in mining, and it's preventing some of the mines from expanding. It is an issue that's probably facing everyone, every community in northern Canada, and, I suspect, most countries that are in the north. It's something that we should be looking at seriously as part of that business development discussion.
