I'm not familiar with the details of the report, but, in all of our countries, in all our international work, we strive to be as good as we possibly can be. From the quote you read out there, I got the sense that she wanted Canada to be as good as possible, rather than saying that it wasn't world class at the moment. All the connections that we've had with the partners through the CINUK programme have shown that Canada has the most supportive, patient and skilled connections. I have no doubt that, from our perspective, Canada is one of many countries that's world leading in Arctic science. This is very much an international partnership. Very few countries do this alone; it's the international partnerships that make the real difference.
