We talked about dis-information and about information, Mr. Blais. We also said that the government had declared it was up to its embassies, which represent it, to get the information out. During our visit to Quebec City, at the Parliament, a representative of another country tried to raise our awareness. He asked us if there was a way of abolishing the hunt and turning us towards something else. I find that point of view quite stupid. It makes no sense. If we abolish the hunt, we might as well close down all of the coastal regions, be it around the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in Newfoundland or elsewhere. The reality is such that seals eat fish. The ecosystem that Mr. Arseaneau talked about must follow its course.
We have reached the point where a representative from another country tells us that it would be better for us to leave the food for the seals and to move on to something else. However, we know that our main industry is the fishing industry.
