Mr. Speaker, the issue is really how we get from here to there if we are talking about custodial management. NAFO is not going to work. It has not worked in the past, but we have to take a position that is very forceful at the beginning and, in a sense, lay down the law as to what is to be expected and happen.
I do not think that NAFO would work in the long run, but we did hear from Les Dean and David Vardy from Newfoundland and Labrador. They talked about how that process would take several years and probably a few failed attempts to make progress before custodial management would be put in place.
However, this is considered a backward step. In fact, it has been suggested that if we go down this road, it could be 20 or 30 years before we ever get out of this kind of agreement.
