I will ask another question and then I will yield to Mr. Blais.
If such a big herd -- and it would be the same for common seals -- did not have enough predators, it would reach a point when it would start declining because of a lack of food that would lead to a decrease in the size of the herd and the size of the animals.
Have any studies being carried out by Fisheries and Oceans showing that we might be close to the point of no return as far as the capacity of the ocean to feed the herd is concerned? If there an exponential increase of the herd, there would be a lack of food on Sable Island and the seals would begin to leave the area.
