I have another question.
Dr. Lavigne, if the seal hunt were stopped tomorrow.... And for Mr. Byrne, who was here earlier, there was a women's organization in the States that last February offered $25.5 million to the Canadian government to buy off all the sealers, and that was turned down. So there was an offer at one time. But the reality is, sir, if the seal hunt stopped tomorrow, as your organization would like done, the fear is that the seals themselves would increase to a point where they would implode. There's a risk that there would be too many animals out in the ocean, and they would implode—either through disease or something else—that they would die with a fairly high mortality.
The final question for you is how many seals should there be to have a balance in the ecosystem in our oceans on the east coast?
