Thank you very much for being here. This is an incredibly interesting session, and it's a really important one. I appreciate your candour and your sharing your experiences with us.
One of my nephews is a Rubik's cube fan. Sometimes, when you're sitting there and you can't solve a puzzle, one of the things you need to do is turn the cube around. The incredible thing about looking at this country from the perspective of the north and the perspective of the Arctic is that it helps get us off the idea that we have one neighbour. In the Arctic, you have seven or eight neighbours and China, which is showing an awfully close interest in the goings-on up there these days.
I think the topics you're bringing up around quality of life are very important, but I thought we might take a bit of a deviation from that in one round.
Could you share with us some of the things you see as you look across the ocean and into other countries, through your cultural relationships with other indigenous peoples who are in the northern parts of those countries? Share with us the really valuable things those countries are doing in their north that we should maybe consider doing in ours.
I'm happy to have either one of you start on the interesting projects and things they're doing. How are their norths changing, and what should we be doing to respond?
