Thank you to both David and Rebecca for appearing before us. These are interesting and valuable perspectives that you offer.
I don't think this committee is as cynical as has been suggested. We are very open to facts. Actually, what we do is challenge facts.
Rebecca, you said that $1,500 is on average the value to the Newfoundland sealer from the seal hunt's commercial activities. You said it is not really a whole lot of money. Do you really believe that the $1,500 is not a lot of money to a Newfoundland sealer?
