All of our trade agreements, and I think particularly the TPP, would open up opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region that are not necessarily there now. The free trade agreement with South Korea that was concluded recently has had exactly that effect. B.C. is located on the Pacific Rim, so there are plenty of companies in B.C. that have availed themselves of the new opportunities under the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement.
As I said earlier, one of the ways of addressing that low number of companies that export in B.C., and it's even smaller for small and medium-sized enterprises of which less than 1.5% export, is to come up with a coordinated suite of export readiness services. It's something we're actually thinking about and working on with the Province of British Columbia through this regional trade network. The Ministry of International Trade in the province is quite open to collaboration with the federal government. We and our colleagues at Global Affairs Canada are actively engaged with them to try to come up with some ideas to do this in a coordinated fashion so that different levels of government are not tripping over one another. When you're talking about presence in foreign markets, for example, nothing confuses them more than saying, “Oh well, I'm the federal government and that's a provincial issue.” People in foreign markets don't get that.
