Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I shall share my time with Mr. Bachand if there is time left.
Thank you for coming here, Mr. Griffiths.
I came a bit late. Maybe you already have answered my question, but I do not think so.
You said, in a text that I have here, that the United States does not see itself as an Arctic country. You add that Alaska might be more tied to the Arctic and that Washington might be less open to see it as a priority than Alaska.
Would it be possible that the U.S. will become more interested in the Arctic given the increasing interest from Russia? Do you think that the Americans and the United States are worried by the fact that Russia seems to be willing to apply some political pressure at the international level?
