According to Mr. Bevan, who has been following it, this is the current state of affairs. It's very good, obviously, that it is. But will it hold in the long term? The fact that it seems to be working right now doesn't mean it will hold in the long term. If you're negotiating a new convention, as Mr. Bevan was, one of the objectives, logically, would have been to write in something that would solidify or incorporate in stone, or the new NAFO convention, the thing that is happening or make it happen in the future. That didn't happen in the proposed new convention.
