Mr. Hik, I want to make sure I understand what you're saying.
Dr. Mona Nemer, Canada's chief science advisor, noted in her most recent report, “The Polar Continental Shelf Program and the Rapid Rise of Northern Research”: Canada has one of the largest territorial claims in the Arctic. It should aspire to be a leader among circumpolar nations in terms of northern research, in much the same way it strives to be a global leader in other disciplines.
Do you agree with that?
