Thank you, Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for their presentations and testimony so far.
My first question is for Professor Allard.
Professor, you heard from Mr. Henheffer from the Arctic Research Foundation about what they've been working on—in other words, a national Arctic strategy. As I looked at the material prepared for us by our wonderful analysts, I was very much struck by how many institutions, colleges, universities and not-for-profits are involved in Arctic research, I'm sure with the very best of intentions, because we are all aware of the tremendous impact that climate change is having on the Arctic. However, do you see a need for increased collaboration? What kind of experience have you had in avoiding the duplication of research and in ensuring that we get good science done and that this knowledge is disseminated among the various groups and used appropriately?
