Fisheries committee  We're in constant contact in terms of providing information to DFAIT. They know, for example, that between 2004 and 2010, we exported $70 million in seal products to 35 countries. Obviously, as Mr. Bevan remarked, the market has fallen off somewhat, although the landed value for this year has come back a little bit, which is a positive sign.

Fisheries committee  Not that I'm aware of.

Fisheries committee  Yes, pelts are permitted. As Mr. Bevan alluded, there was an agreement on products initialled in 2011, but pelts are permitted.

Fisheries committee  I'd have to get back to you on that to provide a reliable response.

Fisheries committee  I think as well we're working quite closely with industry and with like-minded partners internationally, such as Norway. We endeavour to correct misinformation through communications as well, but DFATD is the lead on the actual appeal which needs to be filed by the 24th.
