Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Bouchard, I'm glad that you were able to join the meeting. Thank you for your opening statement. I hope that the connection is reliable and that you can hear everything.
I think it's important to make clear that these were necessary sanctions. In the face of such aggression against Ukraine, sanctions were unavoidable. Now, we can take a step back to see how we can make things better for companies like yours that are feeling the effects of the sanctions.
You did a good job of explaining how you had partly been a victim of the sanctions. You rely on certain companies in Russia for 30% of your business, which is pretty substantial. That's also the case for some Russian companies.
As members of the Standing Committee on International Trade, we are meeting with business leaders who are experiencing these consequences.
My question for you is what can we do to help you.
