My experience with this--and prior to becoming chair of the board--was that when Robert said it was unacceptable, one party found that whatever was proposed was unacceptable. It might have been the shipowners, or it might have been the pilots, or it might have been the government minister. But in any case, whenever there was one person who found it unacceptable, there wasn't a will to go ahead in spite of that. So there have been a number of attempts to get this done, and they all failed because either Parliament was prorogued and a new election was called and it got lost in the shuffle and we started all over again, or someone would influence someone to say, “Oh, there needs to be more work done; they haven't done all their work yet.” And we would go around the circle and do more work.
