Mr. Chair, I want to thank our witnesses for appearing.
I want to follow up on the discussion around the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Of course, everyone in the Arctic has been making territorial claims to the seabed of the Arctic Ocean, Canada included. There's a great deal of overlap, especially from competing nations. The United States has a different view of where their territory lies in the Beaufort Sea versus Canada. We know that Russia is trying to claim everything right up to the continental shelf of North America.
I'm wondering where that process is at, Mr. Randall, as to those claims, and when final decisions will be made at the United Nations.
