Thank you, both, very much.
Regarding the first pillar of the Arctic foreign strategy, we talked about asserting Canada's sovereignty. One of the things I was taught by northern communities and in many discussions at the Inuit council and in partnerships we've had is this: Sovereignty is really about infrastructure. It's about investing in things like highways, airports, power generation, water treatment plants, health services and housing. It's about creating not only infrastructure but also prosperity and sustainability in northern communities.
We talked a bit about the money that will be put forward for our defence policy, and about multi-use infrastructure. We talked about nation-building initiatives. I'm hopeful and optimistic that there will be a very respectful engagement with Inuit in particular—and with all northern communities and territorial governments—on how to do that right.
What role would you see—
