Thank you, Chair.
Thank you both for coming. It's an interesting topic.
I'd like to bring it back, though, to the topic we're discussing in a broader sense, and that's Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic on behalf of all Canadians, including the Inuit people. Obviously the Inuit people have a very important role to play, based on history and geography.
First of all, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada is the lead agency in Canadian Arctic sovereignty. How do you view that: good, bad, encouraging? How do you see that playing out with them, not the Department of National Defence, as the lead agency?
