It is presently an opportune time to re-examine the legal regime applicable to the waters of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Although it is probable that Arctic hydrocarbon production and transportation will not occur before the late 1990s, the current lull in exploration activity makes appropriate planning possible.
