I'll speak to this briefly, and then I'd like to hand it over to my colleagues. In the 1983 sealskin ban that Europe implemented, there was an exemption. There was an exemption that said that Inuit products that were traditionally harvested were exempted and would be allowed to be traded with Europe.
That's nice and dandy, but unfortunately, as soon as the ban was in place the price of sealskins fell—this was 1983, so I can't speak to it from personal experience—quite dramatically. So even though there was the exemption in place, seal hunters could not support the modern methods of hunting because they could not fetch the prices for their sealskins that they could before the ban.
I would hand it over to them, because I was a year old in 1983.
