Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to everyone for being here today.
I want to focus on a couple of areas.
First, I want to pursue a little bit more this exclusive zone issue. One of the comments that Raymond Andrews made March 10, 2009, was this:
Mr. Applebaum gave a very clear answer to that when he was here last week. Can somebody come into Canadian jurisdiction without the request of the state, which is Canada? The answer he gave was one word: No.
Just so I'm clear, if Canada makes that request, is that a votable request? Is that something that would be voted on by the members, that would have to have a two-thirds majority, including Canada, to let people within their 200-mile zone?
