Thank you, Chair.
We're at the point where we're trying to drive towards recommendations for a report by the committee. One thing that's been coming up in other testimony has been the need for a formal Arctic research strategy for Canada that links with both the Arctic strategy itself and any potential Arctic defence strategy that the government chooses to make stronger.
I note that the United States has a biannually updated Arctic research strategy that has clear goals and objectives for its research strategy, which also ties into a piece of legislation that the Americans have with regard to Arctic management.
To any of the witnesses, is a specific Arctic research strategy something that the committee should recommend developing to the government?
