My apologies, Madam Chair. I am new in this House, and as I said, very frustrated about this occurrence today.
It is very important. Many of our colleagues around the debate this evening have talked about solidarity within the House of Commons on this very important issue.
The European Union has moved against the World Trade Organization. It has moved unilaterally on this issue and has imposed a ban on our seal products. This is very serious.
I ask the member to understand how important this is to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, how important this is to the sealers, how important it is that they stand by the sealers of Canada right now to ensure they have the available resources to get them through the next little while, to work very diligently on ensuring the resolution of this trade dispute and to raise it when the Prime Minister is in Prague this week on trade talks.
