Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to Mr. Goudie for appearing before this committee.
Mr. Goudie, I might get off on a little tangent here, but right now, raw seal skins and seal products are not permitted to be exported out of Newfoundland and Labrador. That was addressed in a Senate committee report and in a report from this committee here—basically interprovincial trade barriers in seal products and how they reduce our access to harvest seals. Now, 400,000 seals, according to the latest estimate I saw, with a diet of 2.99 tonnes per day, consume over 100 million tonnes of fish, various species throughout the year.
How's that going to impact the growth of the cod biomass?
