You've raised a very important point, Mr. Stoffer.
If you go back to the presentation you were given earlier this week about the objectives of this NAFO reform process, there was one page that said “stated objectives”, and the first objective was to protect Canadian shares. Nowhere on that page was there any reference to conservation, or putting in place mechanisms to assist in rebuilding fish stocks.
It appears that in these negotiations, conservation was not a dominant consideration—appears, certainly from the documentation, from the discussions and so forth. In my view, one of the major shortcomings of the situation is that people were driven by other issues and other considerations. And this two-thirds majority vote thing that we referred to earlier, in our view, will make it more difficult for Canada to achieve restrictive conservation measures for the straddling stocks.
