From the Western Star earlier this month:

[Averill Baker] said the case seems a little discriminatory. While none of the Newfoundland sealers had any whitecoats, she said the investigation was initiated on whitecoats that were seized belonging to a vessel from the Magdalen Islands in Quebec.

“None of those French sealers were ever prosecuted for those offences,” she said. “Instead they turn around and decide to charge the Newfoundland sealers for something that had always been allowed in Newfoundland.”

Quebec and France are underlined in blue. The Magdalen Islands are contained within the little blue circle in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, just to the northeast of Prince Edward Island.
