Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our guests. Welcome to all guests, as a matter of fact. I've never seen such a big turnout for a committee. It's not bad, eh?
I would like to say, in addition to what you have said, that all parties here—and I hate to speak on behalf of other parties, but I think I'd be safe in saying this—are really unified on this issue. Past governments, the current government, as well as future governments: we've all been as one.
My colleague Mr. Blais and I have been to Europe. We've talked to the animal rights groups. We talked to the politicians over there. We made our case and put it forward. I think what is necessary is for you as well to go to Europe, because when they start talking about things like exemptions, we look at it as just a passing glance, a politically correct thing to say, without any heed to the fact that you have a harvest as well—a commercial, viable harvest—just like many other jurisdictions around the globe.
That being said, I have a few questions concerning Mr. Anawak. Earlier, you mentioned exemptions for traditional hunt. I want you to touch on that again. I'm assuming from what you have said that you have disdain for it. You find it, I guess, as I do, in a sense not really legitimate.
How would the ban on importation of seal products affect you?
