| Summary/Abstract |
This article addresses several questions pertaining to Canada's extended continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean. How well is Canada positioned to meet the 2013 timeline? How are the current practices of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf likely to impact Canada's submission? What concerns does Article 82 of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea pose for Canada? The article concludes that Canada is well positioned to meet the 2013 deadline, but that the commission is ill-prepared to provide a timely response. Article 82 presents a particularly thorny problem as the details on which such arrangements must be based will not be fully known until commercial production begins, which is decades away.

| Summary/Abstract |
For Canada, establishing sovereignty over its continental shelf resources has been a law of the sea priority since the Second World War. Large quantities of oil, gas, and minerals are contained in the seabed; hence, there is a strong economic imperative to establish coastal state jurisdiction. Historically, instead of taking unilateral actions, as many coastal states have, Canada has preferred multilateral channels. At the First and Second Conferences on the Law of the Sea, the Seabed Committee, and the Third Conference on the Law of the Sea, which produced the Convention on the Law of the Sea, Canada was a strong, effective advocate of coastal state rights. The convention’s provisions are highly advantageous to coastal states. Canada has incorporated these rights into its legislation, ratified the convention, spent over a decade mapping the seabed, and, in December 2013, filed a submission with the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf.
