For the purposes of this inquiry we should not get distracted as to the merits or not of liability provisions. The issue is primarily that some charts apparently do not show the nautical mile boundaries—200 miles and the 12 miles. Through the chair, Minister, I have got absolutely no idea whether the charts do or do not, but it would obviously be an act of fairness for charts to be issued which do show those boundaries. If it is possible, I make a request to the minister to investigate that matter and, if we are able to address that over time, I think we should.
