I am sitting in for Senator Boyhan.

Earlier this year the Minister designated seven of our ports in which foreign trawlers will be able to land their catch post Brexit, particularly UK-registered and Northern Ireland-registered vessels. Is the delivery of penalty points to the skipper on a foreign-registered vessel a possibility under this legislation? If we stop a foreign truck driver, we cannot give him or her penalty points here under our system. Can we do that with foreign skippers?
