Mr. Speaker, we need to move quickly. This affects everyone. If fertilizer is already 35% more expensive for farmers, what will happen to food prices? At a time when the cost of groceries is already at a record high, people cannot afford to pay any more. I would point out that the 35% tariff comes from a well-intentioned sanction against Russia. However, it is ill-conceived, because it has no impact on the Russians, only on our farmers. Will the government support our farmers before this tariff leads to higher food prices for everyone?
