Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for coming out today and being part of our important study.

My first question is for Mr. Vigneault.

There seems to be a huge discrepancy between the estimates of what seals consume done by Norwegian scientists and those done by Canadian scientists. Basically, the Norwegians estimate seals consume double what our scientists estimate.

What are your thoughts on that?
