"content": "It is a hook. We will be going to Northern Ireland with a hook while they will come here with very big machinery, for instance, trawlers to fish. Based on this, and that is why I am saying that I will be going by faith, if what has been said here is there, then it will protect fishermen. I am only saying that I am going by faith because I have not looked at the text. The devil is in the details of the legal document which is the treaty itself. I am very happy that I brought the Treaty Making and Ratification Act. It has gone through some amendments, and I would be very happy if we can still look at it at this point, especially because Members are now considering some of the areas that may be problematic. However, I still believe that maybe there is no problem, if the Executive does it because treaty making is actually the role of the Executive. Under Article 2(6) of our Constitution, Parliament must have a role because it is a law- making body, and that is why we have this. It will be a good time to relook at the Treaty Making and Ratification Act. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, and I abstain as I have indicated."
