Thank you for the kind words.
Perhaps I'll use an analogy that might resonate with you. I see consulates and embassies as the diplomatic equivalent of frigates. We're out there collecting information, representing Canadians abroad, presenting and protecting Canadian interests and promoting those interests. With Nuuk and Anchorage, I definitely see those consulates in that light.
The relationship between Greenland and Denmark continues to evolve. Investing in a relationship with Greenland now will pay great dividends in the future, wherever that relationship with the kingdom ends up.
Regarding the consulate in Anchorage—Virginia can speak to this more eloquently than I can—the indigenous representation we have there is very significant in terms of U.S. interests.
In terms of measuring effectiveness, you can measure visits and trade stats. There is a variety of metrics we can use to measure their effectiveness.
I'll leave it at that.
Perhaps I can turn to Virginia to talk about the Inuit connections, in particular.
