Summary
Regardless of the precise legal status of the waters of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago generally, a special study of the legal regime applicable specifically to the Northwest Passage is necessary. This is particularly so having regard to the eventual use of the Passage for the transportation of hydrocarbon resources from the Beaufort Sea and the Archipelago itself. This part will describe the Northwest Passage, review its past, present and potential use and, finally, analyse the legal status of the Passage.
