Mr. Speaker, the sanctions against Russia are necessary and valid. Unfortunately, they also penalize our businesses. Last week, my office arranged a meeting with the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade and businesses that are suffering collateral damage from these sanctions. We met with companies in sectors ranging from agriculture to aluminum to lumber, all of which are suffering due to tariffs on Russian products or contract terminations. Will the government announce a strategy to offset the effects that these sanctions are having on our hard-hit businesses?
