I know we're running out of time here, but there have been a number of ministerial trips to markets such as China, and I know that Mr. Donnelly is aware of that.
It was our government that brought back in the fisheries conservation ambassador in the person of Mr. Sullivan. That was his primary job. I know Mr. Donnellt wasn't here at the time to hear the reports from Mr. Sullivan on this file and others and all of the effort.
Why are there less-than-ideal results? Well, life works like that sometimes. A big part of it—in Europe, for example—has been the people who hold philosophical views similar to those of Mr. Donnelly and some others on that side who have taken over this debate within the European Parliament. It's been very difficult to deal with that and be effective.
Frankly, it has not helped when we have our own parliamentarians, in the case of a Liberal senator and now an NDP member of Parliament, speaking out against the long-term viability of the seal hunt. That is not helping either.
I think this motion, as amended, does what Mr. MacAulay wishes it to do. It encourages the government to carry on, that we're not satisfied yet with the status quo, and I think we should pass it in this amended form.
