Mr. Speaker, the last meeting of these Ministers took place in Inuvik a year and a half ago. We had taken the time then and the time previous to that to brief the Arctic ambassador, Mr. Irwin and Sergio Marchi, the federal Minister of Environment, on those concerns and issues that are relevant to this particular file. While the work is ongoing, certainly the Arctic ambassador, Mary Simon, is fully briefed on the concerns and interests we have in regard to this particular conference. The Polar Commission no doubt also is providing Mayor Simon with all the relevant information she requires to do a very capable job of representing not only the Government of Canada but certainly the people of the Northwest Territories and the Arctic in representing their interests and concerns at this conference. Thank you.
