Thank you, Chair.
Thank you very much for visiting the committee today.
You started your role a few weeks ago. In your opening remarks, you mentioned that part of the job is to keep connecting to the local communities and to engage with Arctic Council partners. Do you believe that Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic is a top priority for you and for your role? If that's the case, what tools have you been provided with, from the government, in order to fulfill this role?
