No, it's not in the charter, though it is in some inuit and first nations treaties, they are somewhat exempt from the marine mammals protection act.
The Newfoundland and St. Lawrence hunts ate shrinking. Pelt prices are down (Norway is the biggest buyer) and the ice is increasingly unstable. South Korea buys most of the meat, though flipper pie isn't uncommon in Atlantic Canada.
The hunt takes place in an extremely poor area, and fishing us often the only industry, so the hunt serves 2 purposes, helping the fishery by eliminating competition and providing an economy in a poor area.

Well that explains the bullshit propaganda. Surprised they could spare money from their industrial dog euthanization budget to put together a MUH SEALS campaign.
