Mr. Chairman, Mr. Prince has covered one of the two points I wanted to raise, and that is, really, where are you up to? Your letter to the commission would be a very good summary, which you will copy to us, no doubt, because I would like to know whether you are undertaking a study, whether you have completed the study, and whether this is one of many ongoing studies all to do with sealing.
My other point is that under the topics listed for today we have “State of the fisheries in Canada: adaptation since the moratorium on cod fishing”. Cod fishing and the lack of stocks in European waters is a major issue, and it affects Mr. Titley's and my own region in the northwest very much. I hope that in the time remaining we will be covering that matter. We've dealt with the general study and your inquiry very satisfactorily, but if we could turn to cod and other aspects of fishing in Canada, I'd be very grateful.
