Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both of our witnesses. All your comments are well taken and thoughtful.
I have a question I want to dwell on a little bit. We are talking about protecting our sovereignty, and I want to delve into what we mean by sovereignty. I'm looking for a definition, and this may be beyond what you can do in this meeting, but I'd like to talk a little bit about what we mean when we're talking about protecting our sovereignty.
Is that the same as protecting our territory? Is that the same as engaging with the peoples of the north? I'd like to just poke around with this a little bit, even theoretically, and hear from both of you.
