I can elaborate on a point Mr. Etchegary made, and that is that when a foreign vessel outside the 200-mile limit is cited for illegal fishing, it's up to the foreign vessel's home country to follow through on penalty and discipline. When here in Newfoundland and Labrador we file, say, a federal access to information request to find out what penalties exactly were thrown at the Spanish, the Portuguese, or whoever's accused of illegal fishing, the answer we get back from the Government of Canada is that they won't release the information. The reason why they won't is that they say it could be damaging to international relations.
My response to that is, well, at what point do Newfoundland and Labrador relations supersede anything else?
In terms of enforcement outside the 200-mile limit, Mr. Etchegary mentioned the objection procedure. If any member country of NAFO doesn't like a quota that's set, they can object and unilaterally set their own. Northern cod is a migratory stock, inside the 200-mile, outside the 200-mile. The thing about fish is that they don't recognize imaginary lines in the sea, and NAFO—Jason mentioned earlier—is absolutely useless. It's useless. It's toothless. It does not have the ability to manage the quotas that it sets.
