Yes, the leases were issued I think three years ago. The planned drilling was to be after 2014. So there are at least four or five years before any drilling is planned.
With regard to the arctic, I think everybody realizes that the arctic is changing. The ice is melting a lot faster. The Northwest Passage is open a lot longer. Even as a government, we've taken advantage of it by changing our resupply routes. We can now go over the top to resupply our arctic communities. Certainly the Beaufort is changing.
As far as whether enough research is being done, every year there's a large research team that goes up and researches in a number of areas.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
