Absolutely.
What we also have to consider is that a major difference between the interests of shipping and Inuit interests is that shipping needs to have clear open water. In areas where there are Inuit ice routes and Inuit hunting and subsistence and perhaps temporary camps on ice, the ice is needed for safety. There have been concerns, for instance, that when icebreakers are basically breaking apart the ice, the way the ice reforms potentially poses a barrier for hunters to return safely to their homes.
I would say that we probably have a higher responsibility than the other Arctic states because of the particular geography, the particular demographics in the region and the social and cultural importance of the region. Don't forget too that this is the homeland of Inuit. This is not just a superhighway for ships ready to be opened; this is essentially a space that is important for subsistence, culture, identity and so on, so we do have a higher responsibility, I would argue.
