As an Arctic state and an Arctic power, Canada is proud
of its long-standing sovereignty over this increasingly promising territory.
Canada also recognizes the important responsibility that we have to Northerners
and the sustainable development and environmental protection of the region.
Cooperation with our Arctic neighbours and the peaceful pursuit of our interests
has and will continue to underline Canada's Arctic Foreign Policy
and guide our actions in the region.
Through our bilateral and multilateral engagement, whether at the UN, the Arctic Council,
or working with Arctic partners, Canada will continue to show leadership on Arctic issues
such as shipping, oil and gas and contaminants, as well as biodiversity.
