Well, I think I should offer a brief remark on this, since it's really not a monetary policy issue but more of a fundamental economic one on which the government has others more qualified to speak. But I am a free trader. I wake up in the morning believing that free trade is good, that competition is good, and that having access to markets is very good.
Historically, protectionism has actually been not good for economies. There's plenty of evidence of this. I would say that I wouldn't want to measure the extent of the danger that you offer up, because it's a very hard thing to answer, but I think that unambiguously having more scope for exploring trade transactions with other countries is very good for companies, and FIPAs are a very important ingredient. These days, the model of international trade very often engages the company in making investments—possibly small ones, sometimes larger ones—in the foreign markets in order to have a presence there. That presence gives them a stronger foothold into selling into that market.
The FIPA, that agreement, is actually a very important part of it. In fact, if we look at the free trade and NAFTA deal, it was the investment reassurance that companies received that really drove the big growth in trade in that deal.
