I would have to go back to the fact that we knowingly signed these comprehensive land claims agreements. We signed them because we felt that we needed the tools contained in these comprehensive agreements. We needed those tools to build partnerships with the federal government and other governments. These agreements set out many ways that the Inuit could participate in different regimes. As for the Northwest Passage, environmental issues are of great concern to Inuit. Climate change is having a serious impact on our people with respect to living conditions and our traditional pursuits for a livelihood. We still depend on the countryside's food for most of our protein, since there are no stores in the communities that carry affordable food.
Traditionally, Inuit have a deep knowledge of the marine mammals and how they travel through the Arctic Ocean. Those are things that are embraced in our knowledge base. This knowledge is important in planning the use of the Northwest Passage.
I don't know if John has additional comments.
