Thank you, Chair; and congratulations on that landslide victory.
John and Mary, let me add my voice to those of my colleagues in welcoming you this morning and thanking you for taking time out of your day to spend some time with us.
Mary, I thought you said there were six recommendations.You spelled out five. Maybe I heard wrong; maybe you mentioned “five” and I heard “six”.
Out of the five recommendations you mentioned, I wonder if part of the problem in creating the change is that the Arctic is experiencing a rapid change. From dog teams and sleighs to snow machines, and young people who hunted and lived off the land now fighting drug addictions, just that whole environmental impact has caused a significant change in lifestyle of the Arctic.
When you look at what you need to bring this together, what would be your first recommendation? You talked about land claims; you talked about health, education, and government partnerships. What do you see as the first order of business?
