I think there's a lot of good comments there to chew on.
With respect to the North American situation and our relationship with the United States, we have an integrated economy in many ways, but we have a border between us. And there's the challenge. Capital is very mobile. For companies thinking about investments around the world—and we talk to them all the time—the border is a very big issue. So we have to get that right. We need to think about how, in light of the border issue, we can ensure that our existing marketplace continues to develop.
One issue we've been raising with the government—and we're trying to get some traction on it—is this notion of coming up with a contingency plan for a shutdown at the border. How do we restart? Who's involved, and who gets priority? We have done a lot of work on this, and we have created some principles on which to base our response. The Canada Border Services Agency and others have been working with us on this. We think that's exceedingly important.
With respect to activities outside North America, I made an opening comment about focusing on the WTO. Our reality with the WTO dictates that we also have to think about what else we're going to do. Bilaterals are a huge part of it, whether it's with CA4 or Korea. We have those on our radar screen.
There's also China and India. We recently completed a major piece on China, which I think we circulated to the committee. We're about to do the same thing on India. Both of those markets present significant challenges for Canada with respect to our share of investments and trade. They're both hugely important to Canadian investors and Canadian companies looking to do business. So we have to have a priority there as well. We need to ask ourselves how we are going to do this strategically.
