Thank you, Mr. Blackwood.

In the U.S., and more specifically in Washington and Oregon, a lobby was formed to have the Marine Mammal Protection Act amended to allow the euthanizing of seals on the Columbia River.

Again, Mr. Blackwood, the question is for you. What can the Canadian government do to lobby the U.S. to make a similar amendment to the MMPA that would help markets open up for pinniped products from Canada?
