We've been negotiating a modern treaty for 45 years. We've always focused on negotiation. However, other nations have used the courts. As I said earlier, we also used the courts, because we had no choice but to protect what we had. It took 45 years to obtain certain gains. We had to do it that way, but we've always been in favour of negotiation on any issue.
