Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I agree with the members that it is unacceptable for a debate to be taking place in the House during our committee time. It is also very unfortunate that the committee wasn't able to hear from the United Nations World Food Programme representative because of technical issues. I'm going to ask some questions, in the hope it will be possible to provide the committee with written answers.
Turning to the national policies of a number of key countries, I want to highlight something Radio-Canada reported a few days ago: it is increasingly difficult for Ukraine to export its grain. Hungary, Slovakia and even Poland are now blocking access to Ukraine's grain to protect their own farmers.
What discussions have you had with those countries to make it easier to move the grain by land? Has ground transportation proven to be a good way for Ukraine to export its products? Is it as fast as marine shipping? We'll have to see. Can Ukraine's grain be exported via Moldavia and Romania? In September, two cargo ships were able to transport Ukrainian grain by travelling through the coastal waters of Moldavia, Romania and Bulgaria. Is that a plausible solution? I hope we can get answers to these questions.
Mr. Legault, I hope you're not still having technical issues. In your opening statement, you talked about our relationships with foreign suppliers of nitrogen.
When it comes to inputs, what countries do we have those relationships with?
