Mr. Griffiths, I have here the text of an interview that you gave to the Department of Foreign Affairs in October 2007. In it, you raise some very interesting issues. You talk about global warming and the Arctic, the Canada-U.S. relationship relating to the Arctic and the planting of the Russian flag. I would like to discuss with you the two last subjects, specifically, the effectiveness of the Arctic Council and the creation of a marine council.
On October 6th, 2009. See this statement in context.
