Perhaps I can add to that.
This has been an issue coming out of this very committee over the years. We have always argued about restrictions put on boats. All of us have described the different boats going out and their lengths, and all of us have always questioned their safety. We've had a couple of incidents in Newfoundland where certainly the stability was in question.
Now, stability can be in question either because the operators don't know how to properly use it or because the design is wrong. You can argue that until the cows come home. The thing is that we probably have boats going to sea that I certainly wouldn't go across the harbour in, and that's a bit scary.
Having said that, we have been working on that right from day one. In fact, coming out of the summit meetings, we probably would have had something out publicly that we would be talking about today in relation to flexibility, etc. However, in summit meetings, where we're bringing all of industry to the table, it's much better to let them have their spin too than have the made-in-Ottawa solution, even though our solutions are usually made through committees and information that comes from the field.
The MOU you're talking about actually isn't something that was just slapped together because this became an issue. It's been on the go for quite some time. In fact, I had it for some time--
