Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I'd like to come back to a basic issue. We have to face this campaign of disinformation and demagogy that is going on in Europe. We can look in detail at how the Department of Fisheries and Oceans manages the seal hunt. However, I have to tell you that we're already 30 years late when one thinks of the damage caused in Europe. Furthermore, the seal hunt is becoming more and more of and issue in Europe. We have a lot of catching up to do.
I would like you to tell me what you've tried to do to counter this campaign in Europe, as an industry and as a hunter. Have you tried to do something?
I may add a brief comment to this: your Premier, Mr. Danny Williams, doesn't help you when he states publicly that the use of the hakapik should be prohibited. I have the feeling that he's a loose cannon. I don't know him personally but he's not helping at all when he makes such statements.
I would like you to tell us how we can counter that type of campaign. I understand that there may be some management issues but the major problem you have at this time is the propaganda campaign going on in Europe. If we don't face that quickly with significant resources, the seal hunt might disappear completely.
