Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the minister and officials from the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food for being with us today.

I'm going to continue the discussion on Ukraine. We've discussed the 35% tariff on Russia many times in this committee. Everyone agrees on the sanctions targeting Russia. However, the producers that placed orders and paid for them in the fall are being forced to suffer the consequences of the tariff.

Where are you in your analysis of this issue so these people can be exempted or compensated?
