Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe it is critical that we, as government, do have a position going forward but, more importantly, realize the importance our communities play and the residents, especially in the Beaufort Sea and Mackenzie Delta have played in regards to the Arctic sovereignty. The threat that we have in the Arctic is coming from Russia in regards to submarine traffic and also in regards to air transport flights over the Arctic. I think it is important that we, as government, do a better job by way of ensuring that the federal government commits to infrastructure to accommodate the residents in our communities, but also, more importantly, make that presence a reality by way of realizing the importance that people play in our communities in regards to being the eyes and ears on the ground. I would like to ask the Premier, exactly have we developed a position dealing with Arctic sovereignty so that we can present something to the federal government?
