Minister, no one's calling for a cull. What we're asking for is that the minister listen to the key scientists as well as to the harvesters whose livelihoods have depended on this. Look at the measures that have been put in place for a meaningful harvest along the coasts that would be taken responsibly and in conjunction with what other allied nations have done. We know this is happening even along the coast of Washington state as well.
