Surely, Mr. Balfour, we don't need a treaty with the NAFO nations to underscore our control within the 200-mile limit. That's well established, and has been since 1972.
I want to ask you, or whoever else wants to answer this, about the fact that we go into these negotiations with a stated intention that Canada is attempting to seek control and custodial management of its resource outside the 200-mile limit and inside, and we come away not only empty-handed but in fact worse off than when we began, because we now have provisions that contemplate--let's use that word broadly, “contemplate”--that NAFO in fact would exercise management within the 200-mile limit.
It seems to me that we went there with one intention and we came away in fact worse off than when we started.
