On Prince Edward Island there's not an issue as far as the hunt is concerned. The issue is the fact that the cod fishery, for example, is in a rapid decline, with nobody fishing the cod. I guess that will pretty much tell you that without a seal cull the cod industry is about to completely collapse. It has nothing to do with fishermen fishing cod. So, yes, it's a big issue; seals are a big, big issue.
