Amending the Act at this point in time, given what is happening offshore, would put you in a position where you demand that all requests be addressed to you, so that permits could be issued once our sovereignty over the 200 nautical mile zone has been established. In this particular case, could you ask to receive reports on the number of permits issued and so forth, or are you going to let things be, given that it happened in the past?
