Yes. There's a study by the Department of Foreign Affairs that looks at Canada's reach into the BRIC economies, into these emerging markets, and it shows that we are lagging behind other OECD countries in terms of our penetration of these other markets. We're too tied economically to the U.S. and Europe and Japan, and hence Mark Carney has been quite critical of Canadian companies and wants us to be more international.
My research shows that using these offshore financial centres allows us to offset the risks associated with going to these unfamiliar markets.
