Madam Chair, I spoke to a representative of the European Commission and he assured me that it is going to happen. Perhaps we can look into that further to clarify that, because that is a big exemption that we can take advantage of.
Also at this point I would like to talk about NAFO and NAFO reform. The government's acceptance of proposed NAFO reforms negotiated in 2007 seemingly hit a roadblock.
We had many experts who testified on Parliament Hill and other places about how it was going to be detrimental for management, especially when we are talking about custodial management.
The government tried to claim that it had achieved custodial management. My opinion differs from the government's.
One of the unfulfilled campaign promises beyond custodial management was another one that said the government would bring this agreement into the House for debate and vote.
When is that coming, and why has it not been here yet? It has been two years now.
