I think you should open it up. I think the opening of the season for us has been put forward and forward because of the ice conditions; the ice is melting faster and we're losing a lot of seals because of it. I think we should go back to at least April 8 and open it then.
But as for the rollover, I agree with it. If it's not killed, we'll roll it over for the next year, but everybody's going to have to speak for their own zone. I mean, what's good for me in area 6 is probably not good for somebody in area 4, or something like that.
I certainly think we should be allowed to hire sealers from other areas, but as the regulation states now, if I've got a person on my vessel from area 5 he's got to cease when the quota in area 5.... Although he is on my boat, he's got to stop; I've got to put him ashore.
Where did they get all this?
