Abstract

Saint Pierre and Miquelon are two very small islands. Saint Pierre is ten square miles and Miquelon is 83 square miles. The total population for both islands is 5,800. Those islands are only 15 miles off the mouth of Fortune Bay in Newfoundland.It can hardly be serious that anyone should think France would have a claim for 22,000 square miles or do anything like that under international law.So mocked the Honorable John Crosbie in the Canadian House of Commons in 1982 before he became the Canadian government minister with responsibility for the Canada-France negotiations respecting St. Pierre and Miquelon.
