In any event, trade between Canada and Russia is relatively minimal, all things considered.
However, we have heard that some Canadian businesses are being penalized by the banking sanctions. For example, it has happened that customers' transfer payments for services they have received could not be completed due to the sanctions.
I understand that the sanctions are necessary and required in a conflict situation like this, but do you have any thoughts on how they could be mitigated so as not to penalize Canadian and Quebec businesses?
