For a number of years, the federal government, through Transport Canada, had an excellent program called the northern transportation adaptation initiative.
People got together. They visited a number of northern communities. They worked on major projects, such as the Inuvik‑Tuktoyaktuk Highway, the Dempster Highway, the Alaska Highway—with the Alaskans—and the Iqaluit airport. It was this type of work. It was a model.
In my remarks, my final recommendation was to recreate an organization of this nature. This would involve creating a community adaptation initiative program in the north so that communities and researchers could work together on adaptation research.
