Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Nicol.
Let me say to both of you, Ms. Nicol and Ms. Exner‑Pirot, that I really liked your presentations.
I have two questions, first for Ms. Nicol, regarding programs.
Ms. Nicol, you said that undergraduate and graduate programs should be offered in the north, precisely because that is where the expertise is.
Since I come from a northern riding, I am very interested in the possibility of conducting research in the field.
You highlighted weaknesses in emergency response management and the whole issue of Arctic security.
What are the weaknesses or needs, if you wish, that such programs could address as compared to the undergraduate and graduate training that is offered at nine universities in southern Canada?
