A good start would be to have our federal minister come out and publicly promote the seal industry in Canada for what it actually it is. In my presentation, I mentioned the meat, the oils, the pelts and even the fashion. It's a whole product. It's not a challenge to utilize the whole animal. It's a matter of Canada sticking up for this industry and saying that we're proud of this. This is part of our culture. This is part of our economy. This is part of who we are. It's not to say that we're barbarians and that we club baby seals. That's the perception out there, but our Canadian government has allowed that perception to be out there.
It would go so far if our minister would come out and say, “This is a viable, sustainable, humane industry.” Then, if we build it, they will come, if we put the investment into the infrastructure to grow these markets internationally and nationally. I think nationally it's very important that we do that foundation work first. If we don't have our own Canadian people promoting this and supporting this, then how can we expect to expand it into the international market? That goes for our politicians as well.
