Thank you very much.
MHA Pardy, we've heard some say...especially at the Seal Summit. The minister said more science needs to be done. I think Mr. Hutchings even said that.
When I look back on it, there's been an enormous amount of science done almost every year going back to the 1990s. Even the World Wildlife Fund put out a report in 2006 saying that northern cod would not recover on moratoriums alone and the government had to do something else. There are all kinds of fisheries studies on it. I put forward an Order Paper question on seal stomach samples just for the last five years and got 122 pages' worth of seal stomach samples produced by the Department of Fisheries.
Do we really need to have more science done before we act on getting a commercial seal harvest going again?
