Thank you.
Certainly a circumpolar business forum that presents an opportunity to bring focus and attention to Canada's north would be welcome. As an example, the Yukon currently participates in a Pacific Northwest Economic Region group, consisting of the western provinces, ourselves, the GNWT, and a lot of the Pacific northwest states. We find that it's very helpful to join together as a region and promote ourselves and our current interests in the Pacific northwest. I would see an opportunity to do the same for Canada's north.
