Wouldn't you think it would be difficult.... I've never discussed a country-to-country trade negotiation, but it would seem to me very difficult for one country or one community of countries to say you cannot do something when in fact they're doing it themselves. I'm certainly indicating the seal hunt. They have one themselves. We have one that's monitored carefully. We have veterinarians on the ice. Perhaps we were too open. It's on TV.
