Thank you, Madam Chair.
Let me start by thanking our witnesses for being here today.
It's an interesting study. As members of Parliament, some of us, like me, have not been privy to a lot of experience in the Arctic. It's fascinating to hear what you're saying.
Dr. Barker, rather than have you send something in writing, I will let you continue what you were saying. You spoke about the pressing issues affecting northerners and the research program in the north with technology, innovation and research partnerships.
The question you were trying to answer was what research and technologies would be most beneficial to improve the lives of those living in Canada's Arctic. I'm going to let you continue. You didn't have a chance to finish this. Rather than have you send it in a brief, we can actually hear it here today.
