We're back. We're anxious to get started with our second round.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the new witnesses.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mic, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking.
For interpretation, for those on Zoom, you have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. For those in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel.
It's now my pleasure to welcome, from ArcticNet, Dr. Christine Barnard, executive director, by video conference. As an individual, we have Dr. Jackie Dawson, Canada research chair in human and policy dimensions of climate change at the University of Ottawa and scientific director of ArcticNet. Finally, from the centre for northern studies, we have Dr. Normand Voyer, professor.
You will each be given a maximum of five minutes for your remarks, after which we will proceed to rounds of questions. I will signal when you have one minute left.
We'll start with Dr. Barnard to deliver her remarks first.
Go ahead, Dr. Barnard.
