We've actually done some reallocation within the department in the last year and we'll continue with that in terms of having some people in the department specifically on this issue. We've had managers who work on this.
It is a very difficult issue. A communications group is working on seal issues in Europe and in the United States. There are also issues in the United States. We are also working, as the deputy minister said, with Foreign Affairs Canada and the various missions.
The ambassador, Mr. Sullivan, led a delegation in Europe approximately two months ago. We were accompanied by the Premier of Nunavut, a minister from Newfoundland, fishermen, sealers and representatives of other interested groups. They visited the parliaments and met with journalists from France, Belgium, Germany and other countries. We are doing a lot now. Foreign Affairs Canada is doing a lot of work with us now as well. We shall carry on, because it is a very important issue for us.
Moreover, our markets for seal products are no longer really in Europe, but rather in Asia, in China, in Russia and in Korea.
