I am not sure I would say "terminated" but we are saying, and our legal advice is, provisional application cannot apply forever. People understand that. Let us remember the old days of the driver's licence when someone might have got a provisional driving licence but it did not last forever. Nothing provisional can last forever; that is what provisional means. Our legal advice is that there is a concern that after the passage of time the agreement implemented so far could be challenged on the basis it has not been properly ratified. People sometimes argue that we should just bank what we have and not ratify. That is not a safe strategy to pursue.
