There was quite a bit of talk for the first couple of years of this Parliament about pinnipeds. Last year in Newfoundland and Labrador, fewer than 32,000 of a possible harvest of 450,000 were taken, so it's on your coast and in Atlantic Canada as well. There seems to be a lot of lip service.
This summer, DFO admitted to a lack of patrols. They wouldn't admit it on the Atlantic side, but they did admit it on the B.C. side. What do you think of the arguments that were made to support their cutting back on their patrols? Do you think they are legitimate arguments, or do you think somebody influenced the PMO for that outcome?
