Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Shadian, I really appreciated your opening remarks, which were quite informative. Thanks to your global expertise, we can compare ourselves to other countries and see how we can improve northern research in Canada. In her most recent report, Canada's chief science adviser reviewed the polar continental shelf program and said that Canada was not a leader in northern research. However, given that 40% of Canada's landmass is considered Arctic, Canada should aspire to be a leader.
In practical terms, what are other countries doing better? How can Canada learn from them?
