Thanks.
I have a question for all three of you dealing with the permanent participants on the Arctic Council. At various levels there has been a recognition of the limited resources available for participating fully in the Arctic Council. Do you think it should be a priority of Canada to encourage the development of permanent resources to support the permanent participants in the work they do, not only at the meetings but also in-between the meetings in preparing the information and the knowledge that gives them the presence at the table they are looking for?
The question is for all three of you.
