So it was in 2007, or about 12 years afterwards and following a change of government. Well, thank you. That clears some things up.
Madam Minister, the opposition, particularly the opposition Liberals, have come out and said that basically Canada is giving up its sovereignty. They've beaten that drum for a little while and now they've changed their minds from beating that drum to talking about whether or not there's custodial management. Former Minister Thibault, when he was minister of fisheries and oceans, basically said there was no custodial management, that Canada had no effective custodial management.
I would like you to bring some clarification, if you could, to what Canada has the power to do through custodial management, as you see it.
