Thank you for that question.
I agree with everything you have said. The polar shelf program is really a linchpin for operations in the Canadian north by Canadians. It's also a front that we've put out to the rest of the world in terms of our ability to access these vast territories of Canada, and the expertise is extraordinary. My recommendation would be a commitment to continuity.
What is so difficult as a scientist is not knowing from one year to another whether, yes, you have a program—you can send your students, you can work with those Inuit partners—or not. You don't know until March or April and the season is coming up within a month or two months, and yet the expenditure is of the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is, as they say, not a good way to run a railroad. We really need a more professional national focus that would be part and parcel of a national strategy.
