I'd like to mention that Canada's interest and focus of attention in Latin America and the Caribbean has been more toward investment than trade. In the last ten years, investment by Canadian enterprises has grown by about 11% per annum in Latin America. Investments there today are more than double the investments that we have in China. However, the trade is the opposite. Our volumes and levels of trade with China are much larger than those with Latin America. For some reason or another, investment in Latin America has caught more of the attention of Canadian enterprises than trade has.
On the other hand, the regional agreements are very interesting. But we have to remember that the entire region is very diversified. There are many different countries, with very many different cultural trails. Except for Brazil, they all speak the same Spanish language, but with very different pronunciations and, sometimes, vocabularies. If you look at the populations in countries like Ecuador and Bolivia, you will find a very large indigenous pure Indian population that is very different from what you have in Chile, Argentina, or even Brazil or Mexico.
So the characteristics of the countries and their economies are very different. And then you add to that the political events of the last many years.
