Thank you.
I was in Reykjavik for the Arctic Circle Assembly. What I noticed, perhaps since I've been involved in this issue for many years, was Canada's prominence at that event. It was different, partly with the absence of two bigger partners. Russia was not there, and the Americans, due to their shutdown of government, weren't present.
I found that indigenous people—from Sami and other Greenlandic people, as well as northern and western European countries—were looking to Canada for leadership. Does that feel like an opportunity or a challenge?
