Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Obed, for being here.
Canada spans 5,500 kilometres east-west but 4,600 kilometres north-south. We're almost as tall as we are wide. Our future, which is a shared future with the Inuit peoples, has always been in the north. I think this is a really important conversation we're having today, in particular because the north resists. It resists easy development. It's a humbling force. Building our future in the north is going to take co-operation. It's going to take foresight. There is an incredible opportunity if we can unlock it by working together. There are energy solutions in Inuit Nunangat that could support Canada and the world.
Mr. Martel asked you a number of questions that I was going to ask, in terms of how you see that future unfolding, so I won't dwell there too much. I want to ask less about specific projects.
When we talk about 20 to 30 years from now, what is the energy future you want for Inuit Nunangat in power generation, domestic integration and its role in export? Paint us a word picture for a second.
