Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the department for being here.
This is the transportation committee, and one of the keys for the north is transportation. I spent 26 years in the Yukon in the mining industry. Of course, the Yukon had the Alaska Highway and the Klondike Highway, and Whitehorse is not that far from a seaport.
Looking at the opportunity of having an arctic port and the location of that port, has the department done any work as far as an inventory of resources is concerned, and the best location for that port as it relates to activity in the Arctic Ocean or where there would be a good platform to work off, so that there would be a quick response to environmental problems or medical needs, or whatever?
Is there a little bit of a grid of transportation links that you can see? Have you put together some inventory of the resources that have been identified and then said, this is the best place for that port?
