We understand, through your testimony here and through the testimony of department officials, particularly Mr. Balfour when he was here the other day...and he talked about the three keys, that fisheries management used to have a species-specific approach, and now we're going to more of an ecosystem approach, which is strengthening, obviously with our knowledge of science and so on, the ability to protect fish stocks. Obviously the dispute mechanism and the objection procedures to TACs are present, and the voting system is proposed to be strengthened to a two-thirds majority, rather than a simple majority.
My question is to you, Madam Minister. Those things would certainly be at risk if Canada did not sign on. Are there any other things that Canadians need to be aware of that would be at risk of being lost if Canada did not sign on to these amendments to NAFO?
