Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Before I raise questions, I would like to welcome you all. Charlie Angus and Carol Hughes, who are members of Parliament representing Timmins—James Bay and Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, know you and send you their greetings.
I will ask Richard first of all.
Canada is a huge country. There's always been the issue of Arctic sovereignty. People from northern Quebec were relocated to the high Arctic for sovereignty purposes. After incidents like that, do you agree with how Arctic sovereignty has been addressed or not addressed in the past? What do you think needs to happen to assist Inuit who live in the Arctic, so that they will be included in the Arctic sovereignty plans and can participate?
