Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to stay on the theme of fertilizer and its importance. The following is a quote:
While many of the most pressing and daunting Black Swan events of the last few years have subsided and helped fertilizer values to correct, there remain substantial issues that continue to threaten global fertilizer supplies today. It is not out of line to forecast a future where fertilizer production/inventories are impacted severely enough that global food supplies are threatened.
That quote is from a StoneX report, which the Grain Farmers of Ontario commissioned, and it is more than timely. It was done in August 2024, before the Strait of Hormuz, and here we are today.
My question for you, Mr. Harrison, is this. What has been announced since 2024, as you mentioned in your previous responses to my colleague from the Bloc, to secure Canada's fertilizer supplies? We have an abundance of potash, but we can't get it to eastern Canada economically. From a nitrogen perspective, how many dollars have been put into nitrogen production in eastern Canada? We have the natural gas. Can you respond to that?
Let me go to phosphorus for a second, and I'll give you the rest of the time.
Norway has found abundant supplies of phosphorus. It's a northern country where we can source phosphorus. What has been done with our relationship with Norway to have that become a more reliable supplier than even perhaps Florida or the other areas that you have outlined?
Go ahead, Mr. Harrison, please.
