Adopting the analogy of the Prime Minister, use it or lose it. What the U.S. is doing is using it. They're setting up their moratorium in our waters. They're establishing another claim over that water. Is that not correct that this is what they've done? In light of the protests that Canada put forward this spring, saying we don't accept a moratorium in our waters, they're unilaterally putting in a moratorium on waters that are in dispute.
