First of all, I'm not that familiar with the Buy America program, although from what I understand, it's not as monolithic as people sometimes describe it to be, and there are plenty of people who still do business with the U.S. despite that. It sounds more draconian than it actually is.
Let's hold that in abeyance for a second. I think the feeling in Brazil--and Brazil actually still maintains a number of protectionist measures--is that maybe even that model is not serving Brazil particularly well. It's not unrelated to the whole import substitution model; it's basically ways of keeping out competition, and there's a lot of pressure in Brazil right now to do away with those kinds of things. When those measures can actually be useful for developing economies is, I think, a very deep question; it's a question of how you would compare a developing economy with the Canadian economy.
My bottom line is that I think a lot of Brazilians think they should be moving away from those kinds of programs.
