Why would we acquiesce to this? I don't know. I can't give you the answer to that. But in terms of the new article VI, with regard to jurisdiction and sovereignty--you're taking sovereignty within Canadian waters--I see no justification for it. There's provision under the United Nations agreement for straddling stocks, the UNFA, for the regulatory area to govern, to manage their stocks, in accordance with the management rules that are followed inside the 200-mile limit. So I see no reason why Canada has to be turning over its jurisdiction to NAFO.
