It is easy to quantify because businesses in Quebec or Canada must declare the exact amounts of their exports to the United States or elsewhere. We insure 90% of the amount declared and the remaining 10% represents the company's risk. It is a type of risk sharing in the contract. Then, the company can show this insurance to the bank and receive credit, because it is guaranteed by EDC.
