I can give you the answer, because it's in the Magdalen Islands that they use that.
The point is that they do their sealing in a different way. They're standing on ice that goes up and down, and not many people can shoot a gun and catch animals like that. They have to go near the animals and use the hakapik.
I took a course in Newfoundland on the use of the hakapik. It was given by veterinarians who specialize in the seal hunt. I can tell you that what they're proposing.... All of the people were attending that course in order to hunt seals using that method.
