As you correctly point out, one of the contributing factors right now is that Russia currently chairs the Arctic Council between 2021 and 2023. The membership of the Arctic Council is on the basis of geography and therefore all Arctic states are members.
Again, the statement that Canada made together with Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the United States was specifically in protest of Russia's actions that run contrary to the principles of the council and hence the reason to go into the pause. Members are—I would like to highlight—concerned about the importance of the council and its work of course in terms of working with and benefiting northern communities. That's why we are very actively looking at how elements of the council's work may continue.
