Agriculture committee  First, in terms of the missing products—and I am talking about Quebec here—some were ordered in October and they never left port. So they didn't arrive. Others were ordered in January. The products representing the entire supply to meet our needs for the year had already been ordered so that they could be shipped on time.

Agriculture committee  If you are talking about training on these nutrients, I can tell you that, in conjunction with Fertilizer Canada, we have provided various types of training to technologists and agronomists, that is, to the people who are applying them on the ground, in the fields. We will be entering into a new agreement to direct farmers to this sector.

Agriculture committee  Compensation would be helpful, but perhaps an exception could also be made to allow these products to be sent so we could stock up. Secondly, an exception could be considered for products that had been ordered but were not yet in transit. That might be an avenue to consider. I also believe there would be an opportunity for compensation.

Agriculture committee  I keep coming back to the same two things. First, we need to make sure we get the product in time for the start of the season. Second, we need to work with the government to find a way to get rid of these tariffs that are driving up production costs. I have a two-pronged recommendation.

Agriculture committee  I'm sorry I didn't answer the question I was asked earlier. I didn't understand the question and didn't know I could speak. I represent the fertilizer, crop protection and seed industry. When I spoke with members of our network, I found two things that were a little more problematic.
