Dr. Chircop, it's a pleasure to welcome you to the committee. You're the Canada research chair in maritime law and policy at Dalhousie University. You're no doubt aware that the Université du Québec à Rimouski does a lot of work with Dalhousie University in marine research, including in the ocean oxygen research project. I am therefore honoured to be able to ask you questions and draw on your expertise today.
One of the things you've been able to look at is disruptions caused by marine traffic. What are the observed and expected consequences of climate change on navigation, particularly in the Arctic archipelago and the Northwest Passage?
