Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I was listening to Nathan talk about different Inuit groups we may be inviting. In the interest of saving taxpayers' dollars, I would mention that the defence committee did a study recently of Arctic sovereignty and this subject matter was discussed ad nauseam.
I thought this study was more towards the mitigation and prevention of such a spill. The people who are best positioned, and who I would want to hear from, are the ones our respective governments have dispatched to the area to help out. I really want to hear from them, and my concern is that they might not be available next week. The people you're proposing have put their position on the record. I don't want to duplicate that; I want to hear from new people instead.
Thank you.
