Thank you for your question.
Yes, the reason why the CINUK programme was developed very much in partnership with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and local community members, northerners, Inuit and others was to make absolutely sure that the themes of the program addressed local priorities.
That's why, right from the very start, we made sure that this wasn't just environmental science, classic work on glaciers, permafrost or other things, but had a human dimension to it as well, a social science dimension to it.
It was clear from the very start that, if people wanted to put forward proposals to the program, they had to have Inuit partners right at the very start, and they had to address not just hard-science environmental questions but how that would affect the life and the future of the communities in the north.
There's a really broad range of work that's supported through the program looking at country foods and animal health, human health, housing and energy and plastics. It's a really wide range. That came about, not through direction from the program but from the people who put forward the proposals. I think that links very closely to the sustainability of life in the north.
