Thank you.
I'd like to thank our witnesses for being here today.
I'll start with this line you're proposing through the High Arctic and over to China. It's going to Japan? Good. All right.
Why would you have gone along the Arctic and not crossed along the bottom of Hudson Bay and then come across Canada, when there's been a lot of talk of a transportation corridor along the northern provinces and the bottom of the Northwest Territories, and connect it in...? It seems that there's a lot of extra work to go up toward the top and around, when you could tie into the bottom of Alaska and then follow the Aleutians out. It's the same with connecting to your European....
Was there a rationale for wanting to go so much higher up?
