I noted also that you're applauding the idea of ecosystem management of the ocean, but you also noted, of course, the exploding population of seals in the north. Can you elaborate on this? How much is based on local science and local observation? Is Inuit traditional knowledge contributing to that assessment of the exploding seal population? Furthermore, is the TK aspect being recognized enough? Is Inuit on-the-ground assessment being incorporated into Canada's assessment of seal populations?
