Okay. I thought we were self-sufficient in this area.

I would've liked to ask you if we could increase capacity, but I'll let others ask the question. Thank you.

You alluded earlier to education. Was that in relation to the recognition of credentials and prior learning?

You spoke earlier about Export Development Canada, or EDC, and the tools that could help us or make things easier. I believe Mr. Collins also spoke about this. It could help us with investor protection and to resolve trade disputes that may sometimes arise. Mr. Aïhounhin, how could EDC do better?

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I'd like to welcome the witnesses and thank them for joining us. Mr. Ruel, what you're saying is interesting. Are we not able to supply our own hatching eggs in Canada? Do we not have that capacity?

After listening to the various witnesses, I understand that meat producers have concerns, just like poultry producers. However, you see a very good opportunity to export potash to southern countries.

Given everything that's going on and that there are places where it's more difficult to transport potash or send it, exporting costs must have increased.

I have a question for Ms. Citeau. Welcome to the committee. This isn't your first time here. We met you the other day when you came to talk about the beef industry, the pork industry and exportation. You said we're able to sell beef at a better price in the Indo-Pacific region, since parts of the animal were sold there that weren't sold elsewhere. Are there similar opportunities in the Mercosur [more]

Okay, thank you. Mr. Collins, do you have anything to add?

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. It was my motion that proposed the topic we're studying today, and I'm very proud of it. Therefore, the committee is studying trade opportunities with West Africa and North Africa. Thank you for the good advice you've given us already. I sincerely thank you for being here. I think the Francophonie can serve as [more]

Thank you. I'll come back to you, Mr. Aïhounhin. I have another question for you. You said earlier that the situation had to be just as much a win-win situation for the African countries that decide to do more business with Canada as it is for Canada. It has to be seen as beneficial for both parties. I'd like to hear you say a little more about that.

I understand. Thank you very much. I have a couple of questions for Mr. Bourque. You talked about fertilizer. You said the geopolitical situation in the Middle East is making things difficult. You also talked about pork. In terms of supply, are the rails also part of the challenge? What about capacity? You said earlier that we were able to export, but can we continue to increase Canada's [more]
