It's not easy to deal with because you're dealing with an international area, and other countries can make their own laws. We make our own, and that's what we're dealing with effectively. What gets me is that we hear this talk about tuna, and the quota being cut, because the numbers are down. With the way we fish in Atlantic Canada, and the way it's fished around the world, it is not fair. I want to be sure it's on the record here that you feel there's a problem in this area. It's not due to any government in particular; it's all governments here in Canada. Over the years it seems like we're at the mercy of other people taking stock in a much more efficient way than we do. How do we deal with that? Is it a matter for the government to deal with? It's no good for DFO, or your committee, to go to the ICCAT meetings. There's no way at all, I guess, to deal with this other than let them take it. Is that the way it is?
