Thank you for that.
It is absolutely going to be an exercise of balance throughout all of this.
It is going to be quite critical to ensure that we keep in mind, and in the forefront, the fact that there are many elements that we have to contemplate on a daily basis. It's something that not only are we doing but also our communities are doing now, and they have been for quite some time. Because of that balancing exercise, it has informed a lot of the way in which we do our work now and the way in which we engage.
I'm thinking of our indigenous communities that, on the science front, really advocated and pushed to ensure that traditional indigenous knowledge was respected, in balance with western science, and that it maintained just as much prominence when there's contemplation that is required.
Also, there's the fact that our northern communities are trying to pursue economic development to diversify their own economies and to strengthen their economies locally. Also, it's really tackling the quite difficult questions of how to ensure stewardship of the environment because that is so critical, from our indigenous community perspective, to ensure that we have a healthy relationship with our environment.
I will endeavour to pursue it. I'm thinking about being the first one to do this. There is, thankfully, a lot that we can continue to learn from, and we can also lean on our communities to have the insight that is going to be very beneficial for us going forward.
