Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As
far as I’m aware, there’s been no decision by the federal government. There has been no decision by our government as to location.
We know, for example, that there’s interest from all territories — Nunavut, ourselves and the Yukon — in trying to secure some form of what was committed through the IPY year and the federal government in the area of Arctic research.
So we’re working on a number of fronts with departments to try to get more information and see what we can bring forward. We’re aware there are some initiatives out there. One is by the Inuvialuit and the Gwich’in together in the North, looking at trying to enhance their existing facilities there through the Arctic Research Institute, I believe.
