Certainly we have seen important investments in our rail and port infrastructure to facilitate movement of goods. We at the Department of Agriculture are most familiar with grain transportation, but of course transportation of inputs like fertilizers is an important issue for us. It is absolutely the case that although western Canada produces significant amounts of nitrogen fertilizer, the logistics of utilizing that product in the east are relatively unattractive compared to importing it by ship from overseas.
Certainly, in the aftermath of what happened in 2022, there have been discussions about whether there is potential to increase supplies in eastern Canada or to facilitate transportation. That's ultimately a decision that private investors and marketplaces will make, but it is a vulnerability. As the Sollio witnesses described, eastern Canada is supplied from western Canada with potash, but in the case of nitrogen fertilizer, the fertilizer used in the eastern part of the country tends to be imported from overseas.
