Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome. I would like to start by congratulating you. You live up to your reputation in the area of clear, understandable and accurate maps. I am very impressed by your work. I did not think it was so advanced.
The material you presented seems extremely interesting, and I would like to know more about it. Here we are limited to five or six minutes for our questions, and I will not be able to get in-depth understanding. At some point, I would like you to call either my office or Mr. Paillé's office, or someone else's office to give us a more in-depth briefing.
I thought I had read recently that the Canadian claim to the continental shelf is quite large and extends beyond the archipelago. Somewhere it even said that we could pursue the studies beyond the North Pole.
Did I read that correctly, or is it because I have the impression that the Canadian continental shelf goes on and on indefinitely?
