It is a priority, and the department has to work with the provinces to redouble its efforts in Europe in order to convince Europeans to keep their market open for our products.
The director of the Resource Management Directorate and the director of the International Affairs Directorate are currently both in Copenhagen. They are at a meeting with Greenland and Norway to coordinate Canada's efforts with those of other countries to convince the European community to keep its market open to the sale of products from the seal hunt.
We have therefore increased our number of visits and our efforts. Indeed, in August, ministers attended a meeting with members of the European Parliament. It is one of our priorities, and we have spent the necessary funds to meet that challenge.
