Thank you very much.

Loyola, welcome back to Ottawa. It is good to see you again, sir.

I'm just going to read you a statement that was read by Tom Hedderson, Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture. Just a simple question, is he right or is he wrong?

The Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Honourable Tom Hedderson, said, and I quote:

The amended NAFO convention can serve as a vehicle for other nations to impose their management of overstocks inside Canada's sovereign 200-mile limit.

Is he right or is he wrong?
