Allow me to clarify.
There are certainly other markets where we could source supply, but not in the same quantities. As Mr. Kaastra said in his remarks, we're talking about quality, quantity and price. Those attributes are not necessarily found in those markets.
In terms of how the supply works, ships usually arrive in the St. Lawrence Seaway at a specific time of year, during planting season. These vessels act as floating warehouses, if you will.
We have a respectable storage capacity, but it is ultimately limited if we take into account the huge volumes we import and the fact that we are the largest player in eastern Canada. That has an impact on logistics and it has an impact on our business. We want to ensure we have the right amount at the right time, especially since the planting season is getting shorter and shorter.
This morning, we sent the committee a document. It contains graphs that explain the evolution of the planting period. At one time, the period was about 20 days. Right now, the window is closing more and more. Indeed, we're talking about a few days or barely a week. So this is a critical moment. That shift is definitely having an impact on our business.
