Canada is an important supplier of crab in the Indo-Pacific region. Our crab exports were worth $483,896,059 over the last year. We are certainly seeing that the value of crab was impacted over the last year, which could be from a number of different factors—obviously, food prices and inflation but also geopolitical issues. The larger lead on trade issues around food rests with Global Affairs Canada and AAFC. We're working very closely with those organizations to raise the issue of access more broadly and of snow crab in particular.
