Mr. Haug, I'd like to ask you a question. We had a DFO official here at the beginning of the study who will be coming here again in a little while. I'll quote from what she said: “Our objective is not to reduce the seal population. Just like other fisheries where we try to keep our fish at very high and heavy levels....”
When you look at the numbers that Mr. Small gave earlier for our grey seal population, which is at over 400,000—and we have somewhere in the neighbourhood of 10 million seals with the various other species—I'll tell you that it's the only species DFO is managing successfully to keep at a high level. Might that be the reason that all our other fish stocks are in such massive decline?
