Thank you for this question. It's a very important one, because we've been advocating for the use of indigenous knowledge for many years and for it to be at equal par with other knowledge, and that it is not western science that validates it.
Now I am hearing of change in the players and the parties in Canada. Perhaps also because of the reconciliation process, there's more openness in working, collaborating and partnering with, on an equal basis, indigenous people in research initiatives. This is really good, because reconciliation cannot be done only by indigenous people.
We have the Qanittaq initiative, for example, between ICC Canada and Memorial University. We have a partnership on a research initiative for bringing more sustainable shipping as well as building capacity in Inuit communities and Inuit knowledge holders with their maritime expertise.
I do hear and understand that there is more openness and better collaboration starting. It's not perfect. We have to push.
