MR. SWIDERSKI: I‟ll do some administration, some housekeeping in a moment but I just want to get us started for the morning, and very importantly for a gathering such as this, is to show respect and start with a prayer. 2. This morning we have the good grace of having Mary Teya who will lead us in the opening prayer. 3. Mary...? 4. MS. TEYA: Thank you. 5. Good morning, everyone. Let us pray. 6. Heavenly Father, we just thank you for the rest of the past night, for the gift of another new day. We pray that today you will be among us, that you will look upon each and every one of us and we pray that you will protect our families back home; our children, our people. And we pray that through the Holy Spirit you will keep our communities safe and healthy. 7. We pray today too that you will be among us as we begin the meetings here, the discussions, to be able to listen to one another and honestly and most importantly to voice our opinions, the things that are important to us and we pray that you will be with us, continue to be with us during this week and we pray for all those who are in need. 8. Lord, we just pray that you will continue to be among our people and we pray that you will keep our country, our lands, our water, everything that is important to us in good condition. 9. We pray all this in the name of our Lord Jesus. 10. Amen. 11. MR. SWIDERSKI: Thank you, Mary. 12. My name is Andy Swiderski and part of how we‟re going to start this morning is to hear from Gaétan Caron, the Chair of the National Energy Board and then after that I will outline the mechanics of what we‟re here to do and how our Transcript Arctic Offshore Drilling Roundtable Welcoming remarks Chairman conversation will unfold today and over the course of the week. 13. But first let‟s hear from Gaétan. 14. THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Andy. 15. Oblaa'kut, Van Gwizzi. Good morning and welcome to the Arctic Review Roundtable. 16. My name is Gaétan Caron. I am Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the National Energy Board, or the NEB. I would like to thank Mary Teya for leading the opening prayer. 17. I thank all of you who have made a long journey from home, away from family and your other business, to contribute to this important discussion on Arctic offshore drilling. 18. I would like to recognize that our Roundtable has representatives from the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, the Yukon, many other locations in Canada, as well as Greenland, Norway, and the United States. 19. The Roundtable is a chance to be together, to share our views on Arctic offshore drilling, to examine and comment on all aspects of the Arctic Review and to ask questions of each other. 20. During the Roundtable we will share knowledge. We will seek to understand each other and we will talk about the information people will want to see in future applications to drill an offshore well in the Arctic. 21. The Roundtable is not an NEB hearing; no decisions about future offshore wells will be made here or in the Board‟s public report on the Arctic Review which we still plan to release before the end of 2011. 22. We have five members of the Board present here at the Roundtable this week. We have colleagues back in Calgary and they too will be involved in writing our public report. The full Board is engaged in this very important review. 23. The review was initiated in May 2010, within days of the Deepwater Horizon blow-out in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven (11) people died in the explosion and fire of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform and the oil flowed out of control Transcript Arctic Offshore Drilling Roundtable Welcoming remarks Chairman for nearly three months after the platform sank, causing one of the biggest oil spills in recent memory. 24. Many things that should not have happened happened there. Many safety measures that should have worked did not work. Many important lessons must be learned from the Deepwater Horizon and other drilling accidents. And more importantly, we must implement and never forget those hard lessons. 25. Last fall and this past winter and spring, NEB Members and staff had the honour to visit and listen to people of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and the Yukon. We met with high school students and youth, Elders, hunters and trappers, land claim organizations, governments, community leaders and community members. I was in the room for many of those conversations. 26. We invited our hosts to tell us what they had on their mind about drilling for oil and gas in Arctic waters, they responded generously and they shared their hopes and their fears. We heard about the importance of the ocean, the land, animals, and how they are all connected. We heard about opportunities and risks. 27. Listening to them changed us. We came out of these meetings with a more personal sense of accountability for safety and environmental protection in Arctic offshore drilling. 28. In each community we reminded ourselves that we were meeting the people who would be most directly affected by successful drilling, and most affected by a drilling accident. 29. Meanwhile, we had asked all interested Arctic Review participants to share their best available information on how to drill safely and protect the Arctic environment. 30. To help focus participants on the key matters, we issued a large number of questions in two Calls for Information. We asked questions about the aspects of Arctic offshore drilling that we believe to be essential to any future consideration of an offshore drilling project. These are questions that Canadians deserve to have answered. 31. Arctic Review participants responded with more than 50 submissions, totalling thousands of pages. We have examined all of these documents, and want to Transcript Arctic Offshore Drilling Roundtable Introduction of Board Members express our thanks for the information that has been made available to all persons interested in the Arctic Review. 32. The review and this week‟s Roundtable will no doubt establish that many hard questions remain to be answered in sufficient detail. We may also confirm that much preparation remains before the capacity to drill safely and protect the environment exists in the Canadian Arctic. 33. In this sense, the Arctic Review, with your help, will allow the NEB to give Canadians a heads-up about the work that remains to be done and the preparation that must occur. 34. A key product of the Arctic Review will be a list of the information or filing requirements that the NEB will require before it can make a decision on future Arctic offshore drilling projects. We want to hear what you have to say about that. This is the main concrete thing we need to nail down before the end of 2011 as part of our final public report.

  • My Dear Beaufort: a Personal Letter from John Ross's Arctic Expedition
    ARCTIC VOL. 40, NO. 1 (MARCH 1987) P. 66-77 My Dear Beaufort: A Personal Letter from John Ross’s Arctic Expedition of 1829-33 CLIVE HOLLAND’ and JAMES M. SAVELLE2 (Received 30 January 1986; accepted in revised form 6 October 1986) ABSTRACT. During his four years’ residence in the Canadian Arctic in search of a Northwest Passage in 1829-33, John Ross wrote a private letter to Francis Beaufort, Hydrographer of the Navy. The letter, reproduced here, provides valuable historical insights into many aspects of Ross’s character and of the expedition generally. His feelings of bitterness toward several of his contemporaries, especially John Barrow and William E. Parry, due to the ridicule suffered as a result of the failure of his first arctic voyage in 1818, are especially revealing, as is his apparently uneasy relationship with his nephew and second-in-command, James Clark Ross. Ross’s increasing despair andpessimism with each succeeding enforced wintering and, eventually, the abandonment of the expedition ship Victory are also clearly evident. Finally,the understandable problems of maintaining crew discipline during the final year of the expedition, though downplayed, begin to emerge. Key words: John Ross, arctic exploration, 1829-33 Arctic Expedition, unpublished letter RÉSUMÉ. Durant les quatre années où ilr6sidadans l’Arctique canadien à la recherche du Passage du Nord-Ouest, de 1829 à 1833, John Ross écrivit une lettre personnelle à Francis Beaufort, hydrographe de la marine. Cette lettre, reproduite ici, permet de mieux apprécier du point de vue historique, certains aspects du caractère de Ross et de l’expédition en général.

Its overall objective is to improve our understanding of circum-Arctic coastal dynamics as a function of environmental forcing, coastal geology and cryology and morphodynamic behavior. The fourth IASC-sponsored ACD workshop was held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on November 10-13, 2003. Participants from Canada (7), Germany (7), Great Britain (2), the Netherlands (1), Norway (1), Russia (32), Ukraine (1) and the United States (8) attended. During the first part of the workshop, 63 papers dealing with regional and/or circum-Arctic coastal dynamics were presented. Based on the material presented, five thematic working groups were identified: (1) GIS working group to develop of a circum-Arctic coastal GIS system, (2) coastal permafrost working group to discuss processes involved in the transition of onshore to offshore permafrost, (3) biogeochemistry working group with the focus on transport and fate of eroded material (4) biodiversity working group to initiate planning of an Arctic Coastal Biodiversity research agenda, (5) environmental data working group to discuss coastal dynamics as a function of environmental forcing.

Public Versus Private Initiative in Arctic Exploration: The Effects of Incentives and Organizational Structure Abstract From 1818 to 1909, 35 government and 57 privately-funded expeditions sought to locate and navigate a Northwest Passage, discover the North Pole, and make other significant discoveries in arctic regions. Most major arctic discoveries were made by private expeditions. Most tragedies were publicly funded. By other measures as well, publicly-funded expeditions performed poorly. On average, 5.9 (8.9%) of their crew members died per outing, compared to 0.9 (6.0%) for private expeditions.
