Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to my colleague.
I have just a couple of quick questions, but there may not be quick answers, though.
I was interested in your comments with respect to having a written text, and how it applies in the seas is something completely different. That's true. You can have it written down. It's like piracy; it's illegal, but we still have a lot of it on the high seas. Can you answer as to the way the objection procedures play today, as opposed to how they might play in the future under the dispute mechanism? Some comments on testimony said it could be dragged out for months and months. As opposed to today's NAFO convention, how do you see that playing out? Can we see this going on for years while a country overfishes a stock?
