Mr. Speaker, on the ongoing advocacy over the years to where we are today, we can talk about the military investments and the importance of issues like that of the rangers, which I know is important to my colleague. I think of the whole area of mining. Yesterday, she was telling a story about a trucker and how indigenous people as a whole are protecting and advocating for our environment.
There is the understanding of and relationship with the Government of Canada in recognizing that the north is such a critical component. Canada is not Canada without the north, and we need to invest in it. We need to make sure we are there in very real and tangible ways. I look to my friend and colleague to continue to do that advocacy, both within this chamber, within the caucus, and just in general, because I think it builds a stronger Canada.
