Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Hearn, I would like to know what you plan to do with respect to three points related to the seal hunt: the quota, that is, the number of seals slaughtered; the abolitionists' current campaign; and the search for a seal-meat market. I think that the industry could absorb an increase in quotas, but the development of the seal-meat market must be examined. In my opinion, that market exists. In fact, when you come to the Magdalen Islands, I will be happy to give you an opportunity to taste this meat, as did members of this committee recently. Seal meat is served smoked as well as in rillettes. It is delicious.
What is your plan on those three points?
