And if I can put this in historical context, you were a keynote speaker, in 2005, at the St. John's conference on international fisheries management, “Moving from Words to Action”, which was chaired by Liberal Minister Regan, who was the fisheries minister of the day, and attended by Prime Minister Paul Martin. The conference featured this call to ratify international agreements such as NAFO and urged organizations to implement the rules. We've heard from DFO officials that the amended convention is the culmination of those efforts and accomplishes the objectives that came out of St. John's.
Would you agree that the amended convention lives up to the spirit of that conference, that 2005 conference? Where does this amended convention fit historically in the big picture trends in international fisheries management?
