Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That's a good question. Because we don't have a university in the North which is sponsoring the researchers who are coming to the North, we don't have a lot of control, or awareness even, of what is being proposed for International Polar Year. Much of the research is going to be done in cooperation with scientists who work in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. So by working in concert, we're hoping with them, with ENR and the southern scientists, we'll be able to ensure that there is a clear understanding that we want traditional knowledge to be incorporated in all the work done in the North.
