In both countries--and in a lot of countries--we have Canadian companies that have investments in those countries. They have to abide by the laws of those countries, but the Canadian government gets implicated in them in different kinds of ways. The consulate in Mongolia, for example, spends a lot of time--and I'm sure it was set up there to help--on the investments and the engagement of Canadians there.
I think there's a mutual interest in these kinds of things, because the Canadian embassies and high commissions are promoting investment both ways. These kinds of projects help to manage economic relations between both countries, so whether it's Mongolia or Cuba or other places, there's a mutual interest that then takes hold.
Then, when you bring in some expertise from different government departments, they have an interest because they want to understand the country and how it all works. They want to understand when Ivanhoe or some other company in Mongolia asks them questions: well, okay, how does it all work, where can we help, and where is it just a commercial transaction where we have to step back a little bit?
In my experience, these kinds of commercial policy or trade policy projects help at the macro level and then at the technical level, whether it's on customs, food inspection, or different kinds of things.
