Mr. Speaker, as the member would know, I will be making announcements very shortly on multi-year plan for the seal hunt which will respect the size of the resource and the importance in the communities. It will be flexible, much as we did last year where for the first time in 25 years we reached the quota. We even surpassed it.
We held a forum in Newfoundland with over 100 participants who expressed their views, both harvesters and conservation groups, on how we should manage, and we will be responding to those concerns.
