I do, perhaps as a somewhat uninformed one, but I've listened to some of the debate. As well as I can tell, it revolves around the fact that the states with high populations and broad geopolitical interests understand that the Arctic is terrifically important going forward, and given that they have large constituencies who will inevitably be affected by what happens in the Arctic, they should be represented.
Given that we live in Canada and have a relatively small population, I don't think we have within our purview to inject social policy into highly populated states to ensure that the Arctic isn't affected. I think it's always worth considering other people's opinions, but I think when it comes to responsibility for the Arctic, ultimately it's the coastal states and the members of the Arctic Council that have it.
