The figures we used in the report come from the industries that already work in the north, are already working on projects there, and are thinking about improving resource development in the Far North.
In studying this file, we made comparisons, such as with the Plan Nord in Quebec, which is currently being implemented in that province. It is important for Canada, as a northern country,
to look at in greater detail the issue of the development of the north and how we could harness the potential of the resources available there for the national economy.
