"The Arctic is a vast, remote and inhospitable region encompassing more than 40% of Canada's land mass and 75% of the country's coastlines. Home to approximately 150,000 individuals, of whom more than half are Indigenous, the Arctic is a complex and challenging operating environment with limited infrastructure and high operating costs. In recent years, climate change, technological advancements, economic opportunities and geopolitics have led the Arctic to become a region of growing international importance and strategic competition, with both Arctic and non-Arctic states expressing political, economic and military interests in the region. The Arctic has historically been a region of co-operation and collaboration, and ensuring that it remains so is a priority for Canada"--Introduction, page 7. Sovereignty.
