Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a meeting of global proportions to do with one of the most pressing issues of our time, which is global warming, climate change. There’s going to be a whole host of critical meetings from the heads of states for the countries to meetings that will involve the Premier, meetings that will involve myself and the MLAs that are going to be attending. There’s going to be an opportunity to have meetings with all the circumpolar countries to talk about issues related to climate change in the circumpolar world. There’s going to be an opportunity for us to make the case about the North and it’s going to be a unique gathering of people from all around the world trying to come to a consensus and it’s going to set the stage, I believe, for probably another major meeting. But it’s an opportunity where, given all the concerns we have with global warming and climate change, all the things we’re struggling with, that we think it’s very important to be there along with the federal government. All the jurisdictions are going to be sending delegates and it’s an important opportunity and venue where we want to be there so that our voices can be part of the discussion. Thank you.
