The Arctic as a place means something to Canada. It means something to Russia, and it has a different modality for people in Scandinavian countries and Iceland. There's a different way of thinking about the Arctic from all of those different perspectives. In fact, there are multiple perspectives within Canada. The statistic that I understand is that at any one time at least 25% to 55% of the people populating the Arctic at this point in time on Canadian Arctic territory are non-indigenous peoples. There's a huge number of industrial representatives in our north.
I need to think through your question. What I'd like to say about our perspective on our Arctic, Canada's Arctic, is that we like to be part of the circumpolar countries, the council of the Arctic. The way that we contribute on the dialogue of the north on that platform is different from what it could be through NATO. NATO is a defence organization. For the circumpolar states and how we interact on that other platform, it is not a defensive or offensive perspective. I think it's important to use all the platforms available to us to make sure that we're using or sharing the north such that it contributes to everybody's win in the Arctic. I know that sounds a bit broad, and I'd love to get into this further.
