That was done in 2007. And so the work was done before 2007, in 2006. Where I live, throughout Quebec, the industry was not made aware of all this. When it learned about it, it reacted as I have.

I do understand that we can't avoid eco-certification and that we have to go through it. You put it very well, the Department puts it very well, and everyone puts it very well. How do we avoid going off the track? That's another story. I am still looking for views, for ways, or an action plan at the Department, to deal with this situation. This is 2010 and that has been circulating since 2007.
Even though I don't want to draw comparisons, I'll draw one. For 30 years, there was no talk about the seal hunt, and now there is starting to be talk. There is some serious catching up to do. It is much harder.
That document was circulating in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Now it's 2010.
