In your deck, Mr. Ambassador, you indicated that between 1996 and 2005, Canadian imports from Chile increased from $342 million Canadian to $1.7 billion Canadian. During the same period, Canadian exports increased by 10%. My calculation of the Canadian imports is roughly a 500% increase over that period, while during the same period our exports only increased 10%, so we have much to learn from your experience.
You indicated, in response to a question from Mr. Temelkovski, that the obstacles to trade with Canada deal with the mindset of small and medium-sized enterprises, in that they fear to trade in the international markets. I'd like to know what percentage of your SMEs are SMEs that trade with Canada. That's number one.
Number two, you also indicated an obstacle of financing, in that we don't have a good system of financing to promote international trade and that we need to give more incentives to our SMEs. What types of incentives does Chile give, if any?
Your third point was that Canada has to define the possibilities of trade within Chile. How would you suggest that our SMEs could educate themselves on trade and investment opportunities in Chile?
