Look at the end of the table here. I think there might be evidence that it really helps with hair growth. We can look into this; it might save the whole industry, with the possible exception here of the mayor. Perhaps we had better see how much seal he's been eating.
Putting that side, on a serious note, use of the animal is one thing, but there's another issue I want to come back to, and that is fishing activities, obviously. We visit here, and it's so beautiful that I think we all want to come back as tourists. But all the boats that are here...it's part of the history of this area; it's a fishing area like Newfoundland. Fishing is a heritage. It is your culture. It's obvious that it's part of what makes this the most beautiful, attractive, and ambient area and all of that.
And you call this, and I think this is interesting, loup marine. We've been hearing about phoque all week during our studies here, but loup marine predation.... I want to bring this back to the issue of predation. I think it was Mr. Poirier who raised the issue of predation. I understand that in establishing the total allowable catch, the TAC, that predation is not an issue, and perhaps, Roger, you can answer some of this in a minute, but predation is not considered in establishing the total allowable catch.
Now, you people have evidence or have seen first-hand what seals are doing to the cod and the other fish in the area, with the tremendous numbers that are out here now. I want to ask whether you feel we could do more talking about the predation or the damage these fish are doing in preventing cod stocks and other fisheries from coming back, so you can maintain the fishing heritage that is important here in the Magdalen Islands.
Would you like to comment on that?
