Has any organization come forward and suggested that they would replace that income? Obviously, various animal rights activist groups have been raising significant amounts of money basically to publicize their version of the seal hunt. Are you aware of any organization that has invested in joint venture operations in the Magdalen Islands or in Newfoundland and Labrador to create alternative industries—anything at all? If $1,500 is not a lot of money, that should be surrendered quite willingly.
I have the name of a sealer who suggested that if you were to provide him with a $1,500 cheque from your pocket, he might not go sealing.
