Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Very briefly, we've mentioned the highway from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk, and that's an award-winning highway. It recently won an award. It might not seem that innovative, but these highways are very challenging to build. It was an award-winning highway, according to peers.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think one of the initiatives that I mentioned in my testimony, the adoption of this new protocol, is one of the three methodologies listed as part of the new climate lens. I think the climate lens will be one of the modernizing aspects of how we move forward on climate vulnerab

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We would like to see capacity built within those communities. Second, we'd like to see more indigenous engineers reside in the communities. They would have the best knowledge for how to proceed with infrastructure projects and on climate vulnerability.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes. Excellent. It's hard to get.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, it's in the south.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  That's an issue as well, yes.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Part of my testimony was to ensure that licensed engineers are included for assessments of climate vulnerabilities in the various aspects of infrastructure projects. It's not always a federal government requirement to have licensed engineers. Our request is that you actively use

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Remember, our association is an umbrella association of the regulatory bodies, so the regulatory bodies would probably take enforcement or disciplinary actions if somebody were found to be practising engineering where they were not licensed. David, can you think of any specific

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, we do.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We have two territorial associations that regulate engineering, in both the Yukon and in Yellowknife—

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I don't think so, no.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, that's right. They're fairly small memberships.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I would guess they have fewer than 500. Typically, though, they're also licensing engineers from other provinces. There's a lot of mobility among engineers between the provinces. They may be engineers who are residing in the territory or they may be engineers who are coming in to

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We're providing some training right now on the PIEVC protocol. I'll turn to David to talk about that.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair, for the opportunity. On behalf of Engineers Canada, I am very pleased to discuss the engineering profession's efforts towards safeguarding Canada's northern infrastructure in the face of Canada's changing climate. I'm also here to tell you about
