A parliamentary committee is examining the impact of seal herds on fish stocks.
The National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration is currently examining Canadian fishery practices to ensure protections in place are comparable to those in the U.S., as required under the Marine Mammal Protection Act."In terms of market acceptance, some importers and domestic buyers do not want to be linked with companies and or countries associated with the sealing industry, so there must be extreme caution by the government.
"How real can the threat be of sanctions against our seafood when other NAFO countries are hunting whales and they're not being sanctioned?""One important distinction would be the intent to protect marine mammals while you are harvesting other fish and seafood," Lansbergen responded.
