Mr. Chair, since April 2020, a small number of export permits to the region have been approved under those exceptional circumstances—certainly fewer than 20, and the vast majority of those permit applications that were approved by the minister fall into the category of permit amendment requests. In other words, a valid permit needs to be revised because the date of the permit has expired, the amount of money attached to the permit has changed or the company name has changed, or whatnot. Very few permit applications were approved during that time period. As I said, the majority of them were what we deem as permit amendment requests.
Thank you.
