Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Lapierre.
I'm going to move over to Mr. Manning, who will be our next questioner.
I have a quick point on the grey seal. There's a serious problem with grey seals in Nova Scotia, in la Nouvelle-Écosse. We have heard that now there is a resident herd there. It's not just the Sable Island herd; it's a resident herd. They whelp on the islands on the shore of Nova Scotia. They come up the rivers. They chase the salmon. They chase the gaspereau. They chase the smelts. Whatever is there to eat, they will eat. They open the lobster traps. They're seen as far offshore as 150 miles off the edge of Georges Bank.
I know a fisherman, a friend of mine, who set two tubs of trawl down there, with 400 hooks. When he hauled them in, about one-third of them had fish on them, and not one single fish could be kept. So you are right about grey seals: they're a serious problem and they're getting worse.
Sorry for that, gentlemen.
Mr. Manning.
