I'm sorry; I understand now.
The issue with the protection officer is similarly that the requirement of consent is consent from someone who is not an independent, impartial person like a court or a tribunal.
Just to add to Mr. McGuinness's comment, I think you hit right on the fundamental challenge of international law, and that is that no one country can really act as a policeman outside of its boundaries. That is the conundrum that all countries in NAFO and across the world face. The only way to address it is by international cooperation through these types of agreements. As Mr. McGuinness has pointed out, it can be very challenging to get agreement internationally, and for that reason it tends to be incremental.
From the CMLA's perspective, this amendment to the Coastal Fisheries Protection Act to bring in the port state measures agreement is one of those fundamental steps. It certainly does not get us all the way, but it moves us a few feet closer to the goal.
