Can I stop you? That isn't my understanding. As a sovereign country, we operate in a domain where we could invite a country in to do our bidding. I can come up with a hypothetical. We lack some technology that some European country has and we ask them in to help us make an assessment of a diminished fish stock. That seems completely consistent with our sovereignty, and we don't need NAFO or an amendment to NAFO to do that.
